For this, the 46 years old Hogg explained that although the outstanding Indian all-rounder, Hardik Pandya has a huge capacity due to his lack of experience in playing in international cricket, he will choose Ben Stokes.

Bradd Hogg tweeted “I have to go with the current vice-captain of the England Test team, Ben Stokes on this one. Pandya has extreme potential, but he hasn’t that much international cricket experience to challenge Ben Stokes as the all-rounder of my World XI”.

I have to go with the Englishman on this one. Hardik has huge potential, but hasn't played enough international cricket to challenge Stokes as the all rounder of my world XI. https://t.co/8u0jpfc7Dv
