All-rounders
1) Ben Stokes: One of the best seam bowling all-rounders of the current generation, Ben Stokes is equally effective with both ball and bat. He averages over 35 with the willow with a strike rate of over 93 and is an excellent finisher. He has taken 58 wickets from 58 innings at an average of just under 40 but since Butler has already been selected apriori, he can't make it to this side.
2) Mohammad Nabi: Nabi is currently on number four on the best all-rounders list. He has scored 2301 runs at an average of slightly less than 30. He averages just over 31 with the ball and has taken 108 wickets.
3) Hardik Pandya: The Indian all-rounder is an excellent finisher with the bat. He has the ability to clear any ground. He has taken 40 wickets in 40 innings and has scored 670 at a strike rate of over 114. With already an Indian in the side, Pandya can't be chosen.
4) Marcus Stonis: He has scored more than 600 runs in his short career at an average of over 45 and at a strike rate of over 101. He has taken 10 wickets in 16 innings.
5) Shadab Khan: The Pakistan all-rounder averages 52 with the bat and has scored 208 runs in the only 8 innings he has batted in. He has taken 33 wickets at an average of 25.60.
6) Angelo Mathews: He is currently ranked number 5 on the best all-rounders list. He has scored 5342 runs at an average of 42.73. His medium paced seam bowling has fetched him 114 wickets at an average of over 34.

7) Shakib Al Hasan: If you talk about world-class all-rounders, you most certainly cannot miss out the Bangladeshi all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan. Currently, the best all-rounder in ODIs, he has scored 5433 at an average of 35.50. With his left arm spin, he has taken 237 wickets at an average of less than 30.

For the all-rounders' slot, I have chosen Shakib and Mathews. Having 2 allrounders in the squad will give 6 bowling options and 7 batting options.
