The fact players from Thailand, Malaysia, the Netherlands and Nepal shone as brightly as ones from New Zealand and South Africa in Sunday’s FairBreak Invitational final showed the tournament had delivered on its promise.

That was to provide a platform for players from beyond cricket’s ancient elite, and give them an equal chance to perform.

There were more than 30 countries represented at the T20 event over the past two weeks, and some of the most eye-catching moments were delivered by players from cricket's backwaters.

Our XI of the tournament includes six players from Test nations, then five more from as disparate backgrounds as the Netherlands, Rwanda, Malaysia, Thailand and Japan.

Tips for job-seekers
  • Do not submit your application through the Easy Apply button on LinkedIn. Employers receive between 600 and 800 replies for each job advert on the platform. If you are the right fit for a job, connect to a relevant person in the company on LinkedIn and send them a direct message.
  • Make sure you are an exact fit for the job advertised. If you are an HR manager with five years’ experience in retail and the job requires a similar candidate with five years’ experience in consumer, you should apply. But if you have no experience in HR, do not apply for the job.
