According to Basit Ali, Kamindu Mendis can join Fab 4 in future. The name ‘Fab 4’ was given by former New Zealand player, the late Martin Crowe. In this list, Team India’s Virat Kohli, Australia’s Steve Smith, New Zealand’s Kane Williamson and England’s Joe Root are there.

Basit Ali has shared a video on his official YouTube channel in which he said, ‘What a player Kamindu Mendis is. I had seen him in the England series also and in the recent series also he has performed brilliantly. He may be included in the Fab 4 in the coming days. Kamindu Mendis is just 25 years old and has batted very well in his early days. His style of playing is very similar to that of Sangakkara. Kamindu Mendis has a lot of ability.
