I keep it to players who are playing now.
G Gambhir
C Gayle
S Raina
Y Singh
AB De Villiers
K Sangakkara (WK)
A Morkel
L Malinga
D Vettori (C)
U Gul
A Mendis
Guys unlucky to be missing out
McCullum - Preferred a batsman who could hold the innings together as the team has enough fire power already
Symonds - Lost out to AB
Murali - Lost out to Mendis
EDIT: Dilshan instead of Gambhir would make the team better.

Interesting line up. On present form I certainly didn't think either Bopara, Gibbs or Morkel would feature. No Steyn, Botha, van der Merwe, or even maybe (the unthinkable
) Kallis?

Based on current form for those available in internationals...
1. Chris Gayle
2. Rohit Sharma
3. Jacques Kallis
4. Yuvraj Singh
5. AB De Villiers
6. MS Dhoni (capt + wk)
7. Roelof van der Merwe
8. Zaheer Khan
9. Ajantha Mendis
10. Dale Steyn
11. Saeed Ajmal
Tail is a bit long, but you can't have it all, I guess.

I think this is closest to what I'd pick. Stick Gayle in in place of KP and probably Yuvraj in place of Duminy. No Indians in your lineup, interestingly.

Yeh definitely agree there. KP has hardly done anything good in this format. Would rather see Gayle in there any day.

Closer perusal of a few stats suggests that Umar Gul is an absolute must-pick.

Yeah, especially since he always bowls at the death.

Indian batsman.

If Yuvraj didn't have perceived weaknesses then he would be ahead.Interesting to see that KP is apparently suddenly better than Yuvraj in T20s.

Bench: Vettori, Kallis, Malinga, Bravo
Extremely long tail, but that's a serious amount of bowling firepower. T20 is not a format where you can afford to carry a weak 5th bowler IMO.
Plenty of hitting ability in the top 5, Sangakkara takes the gloves as IMO he's still one of the finest keepers around and he's handy enough with the bat, can float up the order to steady if early wickets are lost, keeping AB and Yuvraj back for later.
Bench has all round strength, Vettori could replace one of Mendis and Murali to lengthen the batting without affecting the bowling unit, Bravo could do a good job in the top 6 if required, and is a wicket taking option with the ball, albeit a slightly expensive one.
