Current Test XI with one player from each country

Wicketkeepers

Jonny Bairstow: England's wicket-keeper batsman has been scoring runs on a consistent basis. He and Joe Root are England's middle order pillars. In 59 matches he has scored 3571 runs at an average of 37.19 with 5 hundred and 19 fifties. He also has taken 157 catches and been involved in 9 stumpings.

Quinton De Kock: The South African wicketkeeper is a handy lower order batsman and has scored some match-winning innings. In 35 matches he has scored 1925 runs at an average of 36.32. he also has scored 3 hundred and 13 fifties. His keeping has fetched him 141 catches and 9 stumpings.

Jos Buttler: Buttler is currently one of the best finishers in ODIs, and a match winner in T20s. In Test matches, he has started playing match-winning innings. In the last series against India, he was one of England's best batsmen. In many innings, he batted with the tail and took England to match winning scores which was the difference between the two sides. In 25 matches he has scored 1294 runs at an average of 35.94. He has scored 1 hundred and 10 fifties. He also has taken 60 catches while keeping.

Jonny Bairstow makes it to this team. If this team was being made for ODIs and T20s Butler would have made it to the list. De Kock is on par with Bairstow but this team requires some other player from South Africa which is why Bairstow takes the wicketkeeper slot.
