“Virat Kohli, a star performer in all three game types, will be my first choice. scored a tonne of runs and was a fantastic player, “Smith recalled.

“So my all format player is gonna be Virat Kohli, I think Test, ODIs, encapsulates that whole play,” explained Labuschagne.

“I would have to go with Jasprit Bumrah”: Aaron Finch

The Australian stars also weighed in on the top five current bowlers in the world.

“I’d have to go with Jasprit Bumrah, purely for his performance under pressure; new ball wickets, old ball wickets; he’s someone who excels in all three formats of the game. He’s a superstar, with a big in-swing, terrific yorkers, and a great slower ball “Finch clarified.

“My number two would be Rashid Khan, what he does with his trade… he’s been incredible,” Finch continued.

“I will put Kagiso Rabada from South Africa”: Steve Smith

South African pacer Kagiso Rabada was named one of the top five candidates by Smith and Green.

“Rabada’s record speaks for itself; he has the best strike rate of all time. I believe that having got 250 Test wickets is a good argument for your inclusion on this list “Green elaborated.

“I’ll put Kagiso Rabada from South Africa in there because I think he’s been a world-class bowler for a while now,” Steve Smith said.
