The International Cricket Council (ICC) has named Papua New Guinea's (PNG) Asad Vala as the caption of the T20 World Cup Qualifier team of the tournament on Sunday.
After a brilliant two weeks of competition, the Netherlands retained their ICC Men's T20 World Cup Qualifier crown with victory over PNG in the final at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium.
The final brought to an end a fantastic tournament that played host to a huge number of brilliant individual performances.
The official team of the tournament celebrates the top performers from the competition which includes the likes of Paul Stirling, Ryan ten Doeschate, Norman Vanua and Player of the Tournament Gerhard Erasmus.
A panel of four selected both the player of the tournament and team of the tournament, consisting of television commentators Preston Mommsen and Natalie Germanos alongside ESPN Cricinfo Correspondent Peter Della Penna and ICC representative Ben Leaver.
