What would the strongest current West Indies team be?

Modern cricket is so much the poorer for not having a strong WI test team. What would their strongest XI actually be if the T20 exiles were all eligible? Presumably Gayle, Simmons, Pollard, Narine would all feature - any others?
 


They appear to have moved on and good luck to them. The T20 mercenaries wouldn't add much now. Chase, Hope, Joseph and Holder form the backbone of a promising side. Good luck to them. A couple more should make them competitive. A decent series v Pakistan gives hope for the future. Cricket needs a strong WI test team.

It would really depend on the captaincy and the wickets they played on. They should be captained in a very attacking way, on spicy pitches, then the likes of Pollard and co would be fantastic to watch

However if its "traditional" test cricket on a pitch that would go 5 days then it would struggle.

Well their best test batsman bravo is left out, cos they insulted him with a c contract rather an A, when the guy is clearly top notch.

Shiv would still be class.
