One year before World Cup 2019: The strongest ODI XI 

Jos Buttler (WK) (ENG)

Jos Buttler has stood as England's man for the crisis

Be it for displaying a maturity in times of adversity or blazing away at the end of an innings, Jos Buttler is one player who possesses several dimensions to his batting. The 27-year-old has been one of England's superstars in the recent past and is one of the prime reasons for the team's tremendous run of form in the shorter forms of the game. Buttler is also swift on his behind the stumps. He is agile, acrobatic and boasts of a safe pair of hands, making him one of the best wicketkeeper-batsmen going around currently.

Shakib Al Hasan (BAN)

Shakib Al Hasan continues to remain Bangladesh's biggest superstar

Continuing to impress with both bat and ball in all formats of the game, Shakib Al Hasan remains busy in scripting his legend for Bangladesh. Having played in numerous leagues across the world, the all-rounder would bring an unparalleled experience to the table. From scoring crucial runs down the order to picking up timely wickets when needed, the Bangladeshi player comes as a blessing to any captain. The southpaw has been in decent form off-late and would be a smart addition to any squad for limited overs.
