Yep, Taylor is a great pick. I guess he was forgotten post the CWC 2015- good batsman and could have done wonders for England had it not been for his unfortunate premature retirement.
 
My next pick is Shahadat Hossain from Bangladesh.

A tall right armer that sparked injection in the team's fast bowling stock then. Promising U19 career but being given the responsibility to carry his team during that era wasn't easy. A not so great bowling average but he did picked up wickets and a had decent FC record considering the home pitches of his country.

@Yash. is next.
 
:aus: :bat: Callum Ferguson

4 runs @ 2.00 (best 3) in 1 Test match
9,386 runs @ 37.09 (20 centuries, best 213) in 147 first-class matches

There are other players out there with more impressive first-class records, but Callum Ferguson is already on my mind after I picked him about two minutes ago in my Aussie ODI team, and I think his ODI average of 41 demonstrates his ability to deal with Test quality bowling. He also bats six in my team, which should give him the role of playing positive, dynamic innings.

Aislabie's XI so far:
1. :ind: :bat: KC Ibrahim (1)
2. :ind: :bat: Ajay Jadeja (6)
3. :aus: :bat: Don Bradman (50)
4. :aus: :ar: "Stork" Hendry (10)

6. :aus: :bat: Callum Ferguson (0)
7. :eng: :wk: Godfrey Evans (0)
8. :eng: :ar: Ashley Giles (10)
9. :aus: :bwl: Brett Lee (20)
10. :nzf: :bwl: Jeetan Patel (3)
11. :pak: :bwl: Mohammad Sami (0)
