All-rounders: Stokes, Curran (vc) and Shadab (c)
While Stokes is a must-have for his ability to impact across departments on any given day, Curran has been nailing it with his fast bowling, and his consistency makes him the deputy captain. In contrast, leg-spinner Shadab has surprisingly made things trickier for the batters regardless of how the surface behaves, as his affectability makes him the skipper.
Bowlers: Wood, Afridi and Wasim
We are moving in with an all-round pace attack, as the trio have been highly influential with their pace and have been consistent in terms of economy, if not wicket-taking. At the same time, Afridi is the one who is highly backed to churn out wickets in Melbourne's overcast and seaming conditions.
