William is a versatile player who can player anywhere in the field.

Central back: Danny Batth

Danny Batth, the captain of Championship side Wolverhampton Wanderers, is one of the first names that made this line-up. At 26, the central defender is a beast in defense and was named in the PFA League One team of the year in 2014. The player, who is of mixed English and Sikh Punjabi descent, was also in the Wolves squad for the Premier League in three consecutive seasons.

Central back: Netan Sansara

English centre-half Netan Sansara partners Danny Batth in the heart of the defense. Sansara, whose family is of Indian origin, currently plays for Norwegian club Fredrikstad. He started his career in England when he played for League One side Walsall. He then moved to Scottish club Dundee before moving to other clubs. Sansara was also called up for the England under-18 squad once.

Left back : Neil Taylor

Neil Taylor, who represented Wales in the recently concluded Euro Cup in France, is a no-brainer at the left-back spot. A former Manchester City player, he currently plays for Premier League side Swansea City and has played alongside Real Madrid star Gareth Bale for Wales. Taylor, whose mother is a Bengali hailing from Kolkata in India, helped the Wales national team reach the semi-finals of the Euro Cup.
