With the Seniors First Test Draft coming to a close, it's time for a new and slightly different idea. This will be The A Team Draft. Your task will be to select a Test team consisting only of players whose surnames begin with an A. I'm well aware that players from certain nations have names that don't entirely correspond to a Western naming system, but as a general rule I'll be going with the principle that "Babar Azam" is fine, but "Azam Khan" is not. If there are any disputed picks, I'll decide on a case by case basis whether the player is A enough for the A Team Draft.

As always, usual rules apply: 24 hours to make a pick (and only 24 hours to make a double pick) before the next person can jump in.

Enjoy!
 
Easiest first pick ever this one:

1677371185775.png

As of lunch on Day Three: 685 wickets @ 25.90 (32 5WI, best 7/42) in 179 matches

I am proud to call him my number eleven.

11. :eng: :bwl: Jimmy Anderson

@ahmedleo414 has the next pick
 
Hashim Amla feels like the obvious first batsman to take. @RUDI is next
