Former Indian spinner Harbhajan Singh has announced his team of the tournament for the T20 World Cup and has not included Pakistan captain Babar Azam.

"I have selected my team entirely based on performances and how these players have performed in the T20 World Cup," said Harbhajan while speaking on Sportskeepa Cricket's YouTube channel.

The International Cricket Council (ICC) on Tuesday announced the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup Most Valuable Team of the Tournament; Babar Azam was named as the captain of the side.

As an opening pair, Harbhajan picked the player of the tournament David Warner and Mohammad Rizwan, who will also be keeping wickets.

Pakistan's Asif Ali and Shaheen Shah Afridi were included in Harbhajan's team of the tournament whereas their arch-rivals Ravindra Jadeja and Jasprit Bumrah were also named in the team.

Runners up captain Kane Williamson and Kiwi pacer Trent Boult had a wonderful tournament and were unsurprisingly also selected.

Despite winning the T20 World Cup, Harbhajan only included one Aussie player in his 12-man squad.
