ODI XI if India, Pakistan and Bangladesh reunite

Fifth ODI: Pakistan v India
What will the playing XI be if India, Pakistan and Bangladesh reunite?

#6 Shakib-Al-Hasan

Bangladesh v Australia - ICC World Twenty20 Bangladesh 2014
Shakib-Al-Hasan will bat at number six

Shakib-Al-Hasan is arguably the greatest cricketer Bangladesh have ever produced. He is ideal for the number six position with his prowess with the bat. He can provide the finishing touches to the team's score but he also has the ability build an innings.

Shakib is more than handy with the ball as well. He is economical and can also pick wickets in the middle overs. He also adds variety to the attack with his left-arm orthodox spin bowling.


#5 MS Dhoni (Capt & Wicket Keeper)

New Zealand v India - ODI: Game 4
MS Dhoni will lead the side

MS Dhoni is the right choice to captain the side. He is a tactical mastermind who has led India to many cricketing glories.

Dhoni is a match winner with the bat, something he has proven time and again. He will play the role of an architect in the middle order, enabling the team to amass big scores.

Dhoni will also be the wicket-keeper of the side because of his agility behind the stumps and ability to effect quick stumpings.
