Jamie Smith

112 runs @ 37.33 and 12 catches from 3 matches (including the one he's currently playing in)

It's still exceptionally early days in Jamie Smith's Test career, but he looks completely and utterly at home. His debut innings of 70 was dynamic and exciting, and a first-class average of over 41 suggests more where that came from. He could comfortably bat at six or seven, which is very handy as the genuine all-rounders in the draft are mostly gone already, and his glovework as so far appeared to be entirely up to Test standard in a way that many of his predecessors' wasn't when they started their careers. I fully expect Smith to play 100 or more Tests, fitness permitting.

@Paranoid Kendroid has a double pick, if i'm not wrong

 

[Aislabie]

Decent opener over 70 Test5s.

Decent opener, but an excellent number three

 

[Paranoid Kendroid]

Andrew Strauss
James Taylor
Ben Foakes
Chris Woakes
Toby Roland-Jones
Jack Leach

Ben Foakes is the one of the best keepers around who plus he is not a muck with a bat as ECB believe.

Woakes will take share the new ball with Toby Roland-Jones.

Sam Curran is an ideal number 8, providing batting depth and a left-arm option.

Ryan Sidebottom

79 wickets @ 28.24 (5 5WI, best 7/47) in 22 Test matches

Ryan Sidebottom was England's best swing bowler for about five years, but bafflingly he spent most of that time out of the side - his copybook blotted by an ineffective Test debut in 2001. In the end, he finished his career with 79 wickets, and it should have been so many more if he'd been managed better by the ECB: he instead spent his time amassing a mad 762 first-class wickets, at a rate of only 23.80 apiece for Yorkshire and Nottinghamshire. He'll make an excellent new ball partner for Stuart Broad in my side.
