I think there is no harm in putting him in current XIs considering any better choices ain't available.

Sangakkara (WK)
Younis Khan
Dravid
Jayawardena

it is very difficult to choose... :help
 
If I did a current XI

Tests:

Jaysuriya/Sehwag
*Younis/Jayawardene (perhaps unorthodox, but they're perfect complements)
Dravid
Tendulkar
Yousuf
T Sangakkara
Pathan
Patel/Akhtar
Asif
L. Malinga/Kumble
Murli

ODI:

Jayasuriya/Sehwag
Tendulkar
Dravid
*Inzy
Yuvraj
T Dhoni/Sangakkara
Pathan
Bhajji
Akhtar
Asif
Murli

both are again very tentative.
 
All Time Asian XI (Test):

1) S. Gavaskar (VC)
2) S. Anwar
3) M. Yousuf
4) R. Dravid
5) J. Miandad
6) S. Tendulkar
7) K. Sangakkara (WK)
8) I. Khan (C)
9) W. Akram (B1)
10) W. Younis (B2)
11) M. Muralitharan

12th - Shoaib Akhtar

Imran Khan I think was greatest ever Cricket captain.
 
I agree about Asif being in either lineups. Its way too early for him and even though he has had a good comeback after his first test, he could go downhill from here (I hope not). As for Sachin, I'd say he has established himself as an all time asian great ;)

Of course everyone is entitled to their opinions and can choose whoever they want, even Sami :p

Kapil Dev should be in an All time Asian team..
