Jaffer, who represented India in 31 Tests and 2 ODIs, selected Pakistan’s Babar Azam to open alongside Warner while he picked New Zealand skipper Kane Williamson to bat at the crucial No. 3 position.

South African batting maverick AB de Villiers and England’s wicketkeeper-batsman Jos Buttler were slotted at No. 4 and 5 by Jaffer. West Indies’ Andre Russell and former Bangladesh captain Shakib Al Hasan were the two designated all-rounders in the team.

While picking the bowlers, Jaffer went with Afghanistan’s Rashid Khan and Nepal’s Sandeep Lamichhane as his spin options. Sri Lanka veteran Lasith Malinga and India’s Jasprit Bumrah form the pace attack of the side.
