Wicketkeeper - Jos Buttler

Though Jos Buttler scored a century against Australia in January, he didn’t really rise to prominence until he faced the same opposition again in the later part of the year. Capitalizing on his brilliant IPL form, Buttler slammed three fifties and one hundred against the Aussies. Though he didn’t open the innings for them (England), he still managed to deliver standout cameos when his team needed it the most.
All-rounder - Shakib Al Hasan

Shakib Al Hasan has been one of the best all-rounders for quite some time. In fact, the Bangladeshi all-rounder had a great 2018. He was among the runs and wickets scoring a total of 497 runs taking a total of 21 wickets in 15 matches. His highest score with the bat was a masterful 97 he scored against the West Indies. This makes Shakib Al Hasan the perfect choice for an all-rounder to feature in the ODI XI of 2018.
