For Tests:

Lokesh Rahul
Sami Aslam
Babar Azam
Tom Latham
Mominul Haque
Kraigg Brathwaite
Quinton De Kock (WK) (C)
Kagiso Rabada
Mehedi Hasan
Alzharri Joseph
Mustafizur Rahman

Subs-
Mohammad Amir
PJ Moor (solid Batsman and a good wicket-keeper)
Taskin Ahmed

In my opinion, this would be a solid Test side. A solid top order with a left/right combo opening pair and a decent middle order having the capability of batting for says with Mominul and Brathwaite. For the pacers, I think we have all seen what the likes of Mustafizur and Rabada are able to do. Joseph is raw but an unbelievable talent. Mehedi Hasan has already proved his worth against a top test team.

Now, I think a lot of people on here would not be very happy with my captain but De Kock is the only guy in the team with a good wealth of experience almost in all parts of the world and against all top sides. He's played with amazing leaders and amazing players. So, I'm sure he would make a terrific captain.

For ODI'S, I think most of the guys would be the same with a few new faces here and there.

Pretty good, but you have openers in the middle order!?! Also, Amir is better than Joseph and Rahman.

I would agree, Latham and Brathewaite are indeed openers but I couldn't find any other players under 25 who could make the XI because even though Sabbir Rahman and Zafar Ansari have shown promise, they have played too few games. Also, looking at the performances of Latham and Brathewaite so far, their presence in the team would make a big difference regardless of the position they play at.

I think Axar Patel could play the role of a second spinner to Adam Zampa, also good with the bat.

Damn how could I forget.

Funnily enough. Others didn't mention him either

Has been around since the last decade

I feel like he will turn out to be one of those really smart, crafty bowlers. Not an aggressive type like Akhtar or Steyn.
