T20 World Cup squad

It’s not that far away, we’ve got a handful of games left.

It’s actually far from settled. Injuries partly

Absolutely guaranteed picks
Bairstow
Buttler
Rashid

Pretty bloody likely
Stokes
Malan
Roy
Ali
Livingstone
Topley
Brook
Salt

Picked if fit
Woakes
Wood
Archer
Mills

Won’t work in Australia
Willey
Curran, Farty

Possibles
Banton
Gleeson
Parkinson
Billings

Absolute bolters
Smeed
Hales
Duckett
Scrimshaw (saw him once, he looked a million dollars, could be shit)

So I’ve got XI from my first 2 categories. With only 2 conventional bowlers, a couple who bowl a bit too. Whilst we’ve rightly slagged off the batting recently, it still picks itself

Pick a 16….(or a 15, I don’t know the rules)

I’ve got more chance of being on the plane than Hales.

You've not mentioned Jordan. Would be surprised if he's not in the squad.

If you're taking it seriously Billings should also be in the absolutely guaranteed section.

I'm pretty sure they'll take Curran S and Willey will go unless Wood and Archer are fit. Got to say I've been far from convinced from what I've seen of Mills at international level. From your list of pretty bloody likely, I'd only expect one of Brooks or Salt to go. Unless Salt gets the nod as reserve wk.

I think Salt goes ahead of Billings for that very reason
 
Also only seen Scrimshaw once but he looked brilliant.

Probably no chance of him getting near the team, mind.

Think Smeed could be one for the future but his performances lack a bit of maturity that comes from experience imo.

Buttler
Roy
Bairstow
Malan
Stokes
Livingstone
Curran S / Ali
Jordan
Rashid
Gleeson
Topley

Salt
Willey
Parkinson
Carse

Wood and Archer obviously get in if fit. I've not been impressed with Mills, got Willey in there as a bit of an all rounder, Carse as the back up pace man. On the fence about Ali Vs Curran, think it depends on the wicket.
