Greatest Team to never play a test

[Agricultural]

Please compile what you consider to be the greatest ever team to never play a test. If you wish then make this a post 2000s or post 2010s team. I may have forgotten about hidden gems that weren't picked for political reasons (inside or outside the dressing room), can't qualify (not a test nation) or pure ineptitude of selectors (racking up runs/wickets for fun domestically).

Van Der Biji and Rice probably walk in to such a side. Bart King is another obvious selection.

I'll throw out a less obvious name here. B.B Nimbalkar.

I'll throw out a less obvious name here. B.B Nimbalkar.

I’ll throw an even less obvious one in - BB King.

Why didn't he play a test? Monster average.

Probably because he's South Indian duh. Where's Steve Waugh when you need him!
