#5 Johnny Bairstow (Wicket-keeper)
England's Johnny Bairstow will keep the wickets for this team. Bairstow, who has been in good form across all formats, cemented his place in the national team on the back of some scintillating performances with the bat.
Trending
He has the ability to take the match away from opponents within a matter of overs. The hard-hitter is one of their key batsmen in all formats of the game.
He made his Test debut against West Indies in 2012. Initially, he was not a permanent member of the squad. However, replacing Kevin Pietersen against Soth Africa in 2012, he made a magnificent 95 in the 1st innings and a fifty in the second innings which helped him secure a permanent spot in the team.
Bairstow is arguably one of the best wicket-keeper batsmen at present.
