Lower-Middle Order: Arjuna Ranatunga & Shakib Al Hasan
Arjuna Ranatunga was the pillar of Srilankan batting when the team had won the 1996 World Cup. He remains the only captain from Sri Lanka to win a World Cup as a captain and he has been hailed by the Srilankan public for getting their country the coveted trophy.
Ranatunga has scored more than 7000 ODI Runs and has established himself as an Asian Icon in Cricket and it is only fitting that he finds a place in this team. The only All-rounder's place in the team has been occupied by Shakib Al Hasan.
Shakib is probably the best player that Bangladesh has ever produced and he is also the best Left-Arm All Rounder that Asia ever had.
He has been ranked amongst the top All-Rounders in World Cricket across all formats for a number of years now and he would definitely play an important role in this team.
