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?

#4 Mahmudullah

Bangladesh v New Zealand - 2015 ICC Cricket World Cup
Mahmudullah is class personified

Mahmudullah is a technically sound batsman who will ply his trade at number four in the side. He has a wide range of strokes and knows how to build an innings. He has a calm head on his shoulders and is suitable for the number four position.

He is a class player who has the special ability to pierce gaps in the field. He can absorb pressure and then attack when the time is right.


#3 Virat Kohli (Vice-Captain)

ICC World Twenty20 India 2016: Semi-Final: West Indies v India
Virat Kohli will bat at three

Virat Kohli's inclusion in this side is a no-brainer. He is arguably the best batsman in the world right now and is tailor-made for the number three position. He has the ability to find gaps in the field and mix attack with defence quite well.

He will play the role of an anchor in this side and guide the team to some big scores. Moreover, his mastery during run chases would be especially useful for the team.

Kohli recently has proven his worth as a captain but he still has a lot to learn and hence will only be the vice-captain of this side.
