One year before World Cup 2019: The strongest ODI XI 

Rashid Khan (AFG)

Rashid Khan is currently a force to reckon with in international cricket

Bamboozling the batsmen with his wily spin bowling, Rashid Khan has fast emerged as a major force to reckon with in international cricket. Playing a crucial role in helping Afghanistan take major strides, Khan has made a name for himself as a supremely talented cricketer. In addition to his bewildering leg breaks, the 19-year-old also packs a punch with the bat and is a livewire on the field, making him the much-required X-factor to any team's arsenal.

Hasan Ali

Hasan Ali is carrying forward Pakistan's rich legacy of fast bowling

Fast, explosive, and hostile, Hasan Ali possesses all the right attributes expected of a successful fast bowler. Ever since his dream run in the Champions Trophy last year, the right-arm quickie has grown into an important component of Pakistan's pace battery. Coming into play during the middle and death overs predominantly, Ali's ability to hit the deck hard and also, extract any reverse swing on offer, has reaped great results in pace-friendly conditions. The youngster is certainly one of the most sought-after pacers in the world currently.
