Season 2 of the annual T10 League came to an end on Sunday night following the victory of Northern Warriors against the Pakhtoons in Sharjah.

The first-of-its-kind tournament proved even more successful this year than it did during its first iteration in 2017, with many interesting story lines emerging from it. Mohammed Shahzad's Day 1 knock was noteworthy as were the performances of leg-spinners Pravin Tambe and Sandeep Lamichhane.

But no narrative was more powerful than that of the success of the West Indians in this format. It is why at least four players from the Caribbean have been included in Paul Radley's XI.
