SEN • December 30th, 2025 12:25 pm

Respected cricket journalist and broadcaster Bharat Sundaresan has selected his World Test XI for the 2025 calendar year.

“Robert Craddock asked for my wisdom and experience in picking his World XI so that helped me in picking my own,” Sundaresan said on SEN’s The New Ball.

“As a result it’s quite similar to the one ‘Crash’ wrote up.”
