Of all the players to have ever played the game you pick Henderson and Morkel. Baffling to say the least, especially Henderson, very average cricketer.
 
but Henderson has taken the most wickets in T20 11 clear from 2nd top. Also Morkel can bowl well and also hits big late on.
 
1. Adam Gilchrist +
2. Chirs Gayle
3. Sachin Tendulkar
4. Brian Lara *
5. Garfield Sobers
6. Shivnarine Chanderpaul
7. Shahid Afridi
8. Shane Warne
9. Brett Lee
10. Richard Hadlee
11. Courtney Walsh
 
I am not picking a team but I will always have Gilchrist and Akram if I select a team.
 
My XI

1. Adam Gilchrist +
2. Matthew Hayden
3. Sir Donald Bradman *
4. Sir Vivian Richards
5. Sir Garfield Sobers
6. Keith Miller
7. Sir Ian Botham
8. Imran Khan
9. Shane Warne
10. Wasim Akram
11. Malcolm Marshall


12. Richard Hadlee
13. Glen McGrath
14. Jo Garner
15. Sachin Tendulkar

Nayan Doshi and Chris Schofield have excellent records, but I sure as hell wouldn't be picking them ahead of Warne. Henderson would not have anywhere near as much success playing against top class opposition. Getting alot of wickets in County Cricket is proof of nothing in T20. That was proven by Kirtley, Maddy and the other 'specialists' failing in the last T20 WC. Henderson was found out in the IPL, got no runs and only bowled 6 overs in the 2 games he played. There are FAR better all-round cricketers than Tyron Henderson.

As for Morkel, he's a decent hitter at the end of the innings and 'handy' with the ball, but you could have picked far better all-rounders than him. Look back at the history of the game. Botham, Dev, Hadlee, Imran, all from 1 era, and all far better cricketers than Morkel or Henderson could ever be. If I was you I'd have picked another specialist batsman and then 1 all-rounder, be it Miller, Botham or Dev, all 3 of those would have far excelled anything that Tyron Henderson could produce.
