prassana for me.
opener might go for jaffer as well played more test matches.
tough to choose between both of them though.
Jaffer didn't have the greatest time against pace but was a solid pro and a good player of spin.
jaques was a great domestic player as well.

Jaques has a great domestic record and Jaffer a more substantial Test career as you say. I'm happy to go with Jaffer unless there are objections. Jaques only played 11 Tests (three tons average 47). Jaffer 35 Tests (five tons, average 34). Saw him make his hundred at nagpur. Looks like he had a nightmare time in Australia, three Tests, average 8. Not so good v SA either, average 24.

And Prasanna is one ahead now.

Not doing badly for all rounders (Kapil Dev might have been in this too).

Bit too early for Rashid Khan.

Kirsten to open with Kohli at 3 looks good to me.

As we have a genuine all rounder at 4, maybe Kambli at 6?

Not sure Kambli had much of a Test career. Need to get Kohli in. He's a four normally.

Might be a few Kumars. Bhuve- but not played much.
