The Aussie quintet of Marnus Labuschagne, Steve Smith, Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc and Nathan Lyon are all included in the XI revealed by the global governing on Wednesday.

Virat Kohli is named as captain, with international teammate Mayank Agarwal also selected.

Men's cricketer of the year Ben Stokes is the only English representative, while the wicketkeeper spot is taken by BJ Watling of the Blackcaps.

Fellow Kiwis Neil Wagner and Tom Latham complete the XI.

Kohli is again picked as skipper, with teammates Rohit Sharma, Mohammed Shami and Kuldeep Yadav all selected. Jos Buttler joins Stokes as one of just two representatives of England's World Cup-winning team - there is no place for either Jason Roy or Jonny Bairstow as Shai Hope of West Indies takes the second opening batsman berth alongside Sharma.

Pakistan's Babar Azam and Kane Williamson complete the batting unit, with Trent Boult added to the bowling arsenal.

Meanwhile, Cummins was named as Test player of the year, and Sharma the equivalent for ODIs.

"It’s a tremendous honour to be considered the best player of last year and one which was certainly unexpected. I owe much to my team, team-mates and all those involved in Australian cricket for what was a really successful year for the team," Cummins said.

"I would like to thank the ICC for giving me this award and the BCCI for giving me the opportunity to represent the country. It is great to be recognised in this fashion," said Sharma.

ICC Test Team of the Year: Mayank Agarwal, Tom Latham, Marnus Labuschagne, Virat Kohli (captain), Steve Smith, Ben Stokes, BJ Watling (wicketkeeper), Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, Neil Wagner, Nathan Lyon.
