So hard without knowing where they'll be playing, but the main changes I'd make regardless would be Kohli out for KW and Philander in for Rabada. Outside of Asia I'd probably take Stokes over Jadeja and Warner over Tamim. In Asia Ashwin has to feature.

De Kock getting some serious overrating going out on here.

There is actually quite a lot of depth in keeper-batsmen these days. Watling, Bairstow, Sarfraz, Mushriqur, and Saha all worth a shout too.

How does Tamim get in ahead of any of India's openers? Or Azhar Ali?

I think you guys are giving him way too much hype
