#6 Ben Stokes

South Africa v England - 1st KFC T20 International
Ben Stokes is the perfect all-rounder

Ben Stokes, the England all-rounder would bat at number six. He has gone from strength to strength ever since making his debut for England.

Stokes is a dynamic player perfectly suited to modern-day ODI cricket. His power hitting down the order would propel the team to big totals.

He would also strengthen the bowling attack and play the role of the third seamer, thereby providing incredible balance to the team.

#7 Jos Buttler (Wicket-Keeper)

England v Sri Lanka - 4th ODI: Royal London One-Day Series
Buttler is the perfect finisher

Jos Buttler is the ideal wicket-keeper-batsman for limited-overs cricket. He has incredible hands and can clear the boundary ropes with ease.

He has the wonderful ability of finishing games off and is incredibly useful lower down the order. He can play some cheeky strokes and increase the scoring rate considerably.

He is also pretty good behind the stumps against both spin and pace.
