I am frequently asked to select a world XI from beyond the test world. Below I list a team for each format that I think could be competitive against a Full Member. These represent my personal views on the calibre, quality and consistency of performers. I have tended to select players who have displayed match winning performances against high class opposition.
I have only included players that are currently playing and available, hence no Ten Doeschate, Morgan, Rankin or Amjad Khan.
