3 changes for me. I confess I wanted to include Ayub, but crikey, it's impossible to know if Pakistan will turn up at all, or just pick and choose the matches they want to play in

[Durhamfootman]

I presume Red and Adi are in

Our antipodean buddies are notable by their absence....... still time, of course

[bigfluffylemon]

[Durhamfootman]

I'm happy to take late teams from those who don't want to pick any players from Pak, NL, WI or Scotland

[Arthur Crabtree]

India leaving out Bumrah is a bad start.

[Durhamfootman]

Top picks XI

Abhishek 8
Hardik 8
Head 7
QdK 6
Salt 6
Markram 5
Santner 5
Buttler 4
Ravindra 4
Ishan 4
SKY 4

I reckon Ayub (certainly) and Babar (maybe) might have made that 11 were it not for the continued uncertainty over the level of Pakistan's participation

[Durhamfootman]

the Footman curse looks to have struck Abhishek at the earliest opportunity
