Paul Collingwood With Hilarious Reply After Person Asks ‘How The F*** Is Collingwood A Big Name’

Paul Collingwood’s place in England’s cricket history is perhaps second to none. In 2010, Collingwood became the first England captain to ever deliver a global ICC trophy when he led the team to a stunning victory over Australia in the final of World Twenty20.

A three-times Ashes winner, Collingwood’s contribution to England’s ODI team was also immense. When he retired from the 50-over cricket in 2011,  he was England’s leading ODI run scorer and most capped player with 5092 runs in 197 games. Ian Bell is currently England’s leading run-scorer in ODIs but Collingwood is still the most capped England player.

But despite achieving so much, some still feel that the former England international is not a ‘big name ‘ in world cricket and one such person expressed his displeasure when cricket.com.au shared an article on their Twitter handle, saying Collingwood is among some big names who are going to be named in the World XI side which will play in Pakistan next month.

“How the f*** is Paul Collingwood a big name,” wrote the person named Danny Ando.

But if the person was thinking of getting away with the comment, he was very much wrong as Collingwood himself made it clear that why is he a big name although the reply was a hilarious one.

“Eleven letters in my Collingwood,” wrote the former England star.

Meanwhile, The Guardian has reported that Collingwood is in line to play for World XI in a three-match series in Pakistan next month.

Earlier this week, PCB chairman Najam Sethi said players from seven countries will be in the World XI side as Pakistan is desperately hoping for a return to international cricket in the country.

“I have all the names, but will announce them in a day or two,” Sethi said. “All top players will come. Players from England, New Zealand, West Indies, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Afghanistan, and Zimbabwe have agreed to play the World XI tournament in Pakistan. India, however, has declined to send its players.”
