Sachin Tendulkar, Steve Waugh to play under Kepler Wessel’s captaincy in Brett Schultz’s All-Time XI

Not many of us have heard about former South African left-arm pacer Brett Schultz, who was considered to be among the most furious bowlers in the 1990s. Because of his injury prone career, Schultz could only play nine Tests in which he scalped 37 wickets at 20.24. His career ended in tragic manner when his blood vessels in the left shoulder burst while playing against Pakistan at Rawalpindi in 1997. ALSO READ: Sachin Tendulkar only Indian in Jason Roy’s All-Time XI

In last few weeks, it has been noticed that former and current cricketers are coming up with their all-time XI and last year, Schultz himself revealed his XI in an interview with us. Starting with opening slot, it includes two great openers in the form of Desmond Haynes, Matthew Hayden followed by Kepler Wessels as captain at three.

Don’t be surprise to see Wessels as the skipper, there is a reason behind it, as during Schultz was guided by him and backed him for South Africa’s tour of Sri Lanka in 1993. Schutlz proved himself by taking 20 wickets in the series. ALSO READ: Sehwag, Tendulkar, Gavaskar to play under Imran Khan’s captaincy in Rameez Raja’s All-Time XI
