The ICC World XI played three T20I matches against Pakistan in this series, which was seen by the ICC as a step towards the return of international cricket to Pakistan who have been forced to play most of their home matches in the United Arab Emirates since a terror attack on the Sri Lanka team bus during a Test match in March 2009.
Six security men and two civilians were killed, as well as some Sri Lankan players being injured, which resulted in the match and series being abandoned.

Restoration of the cricket grounds in Dominica and Anguilla was identified as a particular target.
All of these players have also represented their respective national teams, but only their records in games played for the ICC World XI are given.
