Best current non-Asian ODI XI

6. Glenn Maxwell - Australia:

Glenn Maxwell

With the advent of T20 cricket and domestic leagues all over the world, Maxwell has become synonymous with power hitting. He ended Australia’s long wait for an explosive finisher who could also send in some decent spells when required.

He has grabbed the spot left vacant by Andrew Symonds and is in no mood to let it go. With a strike rate of 126.69, he is capable of demolishing any attack on his day and can play absolute blinders. With an economy of 5.46, he can also get some breakthroughs at right moments.

7. James Faulkner - Australia:

James Faulkner

Genuine fast bowling all-rounders are arguably the rarest and the most exciting breed of species and Faulkner has sealed his place among the best in the business.This line-up will be incomplete without featuring the Man of the Match of the 2015 ICC Cricket World Cup final.

With 60 wickets from 43 innings and 814 runs at a strike rate of 113, he is every team’s dream and an absolute game changer. His useful contributions with the bat and ball make him the all-rounder to watch out for.

8. Trent Boult - New Zealand:

Trent Boult

Teams that strike early are the teams that win matches. Trent Boult seems to be relishing this job for the Black Caps. He had an exceptional World Cup and finished as the joint highest wicket taker along with Mitchell Starc with 22 scalps.

The left arm pacer can deceive batsmen with his subtle pace changes and can swing the ball both ways. With 44 wickets from 26 matches, his variations make him the ideal bowler for all situations and can provide the ideal foil for the other bowlers.
