My three would be:
Dravid
Cook
Collingwood

If you fancied going down in a ball of flames, why not try:
Gayle
Afridi
Pollard

OK so I was struggling keeping it to 3 so thought which 3 from each test playing nation, here was my list:

Australia
Michael Clarke
Mike Hussy
Steve Waugh

England
Mike Atherton
Alistair Cook
Andrew Strauss

India
Raul Dravid
Cheteshwar Pujara
VVS Laxman

New Zealand
Nathan Astle
Steven Fleming
Peter Fulton - just on the last test

Pakistan
Mohammad Yousuf
Younis Khan
Inzamam-ul-Haq – has the second siring to his bow of not bringing the team out, so not to lose the game :D

South Africa
Garry Kirsten
Grahame Smith
Hashim Amla

Sri Lanka
Mahela Jayawardene
Kumar Sangakkara
Sanith Jayasuriya

West Indies
Chris Gayle
Brian Lara
Shivnarine Chanderpaul

Zimbabwe
Murray Goodwin
Andy Flower
Eddo Brandes (just for that Sledge with McGrath)

Sorry could be bothered with Bangladesh.

Some countries were hard as there were too many options while others too few!

Current players, I'd go Shiv, Kallis and Cook.
Recently retired (In the last 10 or so years), I'd have to say Ponting, Colly and Athers
