I will pick the following :-

Tests : Tendulkar at #4
ODIs : MS Dhoni at #7
T20s : Kapil Dev as Batting A/R
 
Tests: Mohammad Asif
ODIs: Wasim Akram
T20Is: Abd.Razzaq (when he was bowling fast)
 
Tests: Rahul Dravid
ODIs: Hemang Badani
T20s: Shikhar Dhawan
 
Tests: Bradman

Odi: Mcgrath, Tough call as gilly is an amazing wk bat and aus hasn't found a replacement but mcgrath is too op not to bring back.

T20: Warner
 
Tests: Mohammad Asif
ODIs: Wasim Akram
T20Is: Abd.Razzaq (when he was bowling fast)

I thought Imran Khan have been an easy decision in tests for Pakistanis

You are probably right, but I didn't watch the great Imran myself, so I just picked the players I have watched.
 
Tests: Virender Sehwag and Zaheer Khan
ODIs: Shikar Dhawan
T20: No one. The current bunch is pretty good.

Dhoni is a nightmare tuk tukking @7. We already have enough consolidators who never let the runrate accelerate until it's too late. Don't need Dhoni in this mix.
 
Tests: Immy K (his all round skill will make Pak a competitive test team home and away, & his captaincy will be a bonus)
Odis: Wasim Akram (2 new balls & batters with bad techniques will be something to behold in favorable bowling conditions)
T20s: Gul (I actually don't care for this format anymore because of it's overdose but still)
 
Wasim would be a shoe in for most Pakistan AT Xi but bearing in mind current team needs and composition

Test - Imran
ODI - Inzimam
T20 - Boom Boom
Perfect list

Having an A/R like Imran and captain is an absolute killer in Tests for Pak today

Pak desperately need a solid middle order batsman in ODI

In T20's, serious lack of power hitting and Afridi's bowling would be an absolute bonus

All these 3 players are what is needed in each format

Peak Dhoni is GOAT 🐐 ODI finisher.
 
Even though Wasim might be a no brainer pick in ODIs for Pakistan. I think having a batter like Inzi would benefit the current team more.
 
Test — Marcus Trescothick, he was a free flowing strokemaker who could easily bazball it too, just a lot better than Crawley was.

ODIs — Allan Lamb, we need a strokemaker who can also do test class batting properly and also smash the ball.

T20 — Happy with the current setup, but I'd like to see someone like Graeme Swann, I am confident the new T20 batrers can't at all play spin.
 
Graeme Swann - Tests
Sir Ian Botham - Odis.
Andrew Flintoff - T20

For England ( not my team but always followed).

Tests : KP. He could score tough runs unlike some of the current set up but I wonder how high his ceiling could be under the Stokes/Mccullum environment.

ODI - Gough. Current England side lack a genuine bowler. He could bat a bit too.

T20 - Swann for the reasons mentioned above

KP would be useful if he agrees to bat at 3, I can't see him replacing anyone but KP/Root/Brook/Stokes/Jamie would be an elite batting lineup

For me, England lack a quality Test spinner and Swann would be the perfect guy to take the test team to another level.

Our Odi side has real strike bowlers with the likes of Archer, woods, and i feel a genuine match winning all-rounder like Sir Ian would compliment Archer, woods, Rashid perfectly

T20. There's so many options. But a match winning all-rounder is gold dust. Hence Freddie Flintoff for me
 
1.Gavaskar
2.Dravid
3.Tendulkar
4.Kohli of 2016
5.Kapil

These 5 names happy to bring back in Tests. :)
 
there are many but for Test i will pick M. Yousuf... for ODIs its Shoiab Akhtar and for T20Is i will go with Abdul Razzaq
