Tendulkar sole Indian in Graeme Swann's XI "to watch for rest of your life"

Former England off-spinner Graeme Swann picked his all-time favourite XI.

Former England off-spinner Graeme Swann enlisted his favourite all-time XI after the International Cricket Council (ICC) asked fans over Twitter to name a team of their choice of players who they would watch for the rest of their lives. 

Swann's team certainly became popular over social media when he named the legendary Sachin Tendulkar in his XI as the sole Indian representative.

The Master Blaster retired in 2013 after a great career spanning 24 years where he scored more Test and ODI runs than anyone else in the history of the game, a record that still stands. 

Swann's team also consisted of five Englishmen, three Australians, a cricketer each from New Zealand and Pakistan. 

Colin Milburn and Martin Crowe would open for Swann, followed by Sir Don Bradman, Mark Waugh, Sachin Tendulkar in a very strong middle-order. 

Sir Ian Botham is the premier all-rounder while Alan Knott the first-choice wicketkeeper of Swann's team. 

Shane Warne, Harold Larwood, Wasim Akram and James Anderson round off an intimidating bowling attack.
