Probably Asia is the greatest Cricket playing continent, so making an Asia current ODI XI might be a fair argument.So let's have glance on how the playing XI would look like.

Openers

1)Rohit Sharma

An automatic selection when it comes to make an Asia XI. Rohit Sharma's numbers speaks for himself only man to hit 3 double centuries in ODI's while none of the others doing that have more than one.Starting the innings slowly but then accelerating at unbelievable rate is the kind of game he loves to play. Having him at the top of the order is the delight for everyone.

2) Tamim Iqbal

After keeping Rohit Sharma as the opener the other batsman should be a left hander. As we are making an Asia XI not India XI so batsman from other countries should also be  included. The name which strikes our mind is Tamim Iqbal. He's probably one of the most senior player in current Bangladesh setup. With the ability to score well and hold the innings he's one such batsman who could accompany Rohit Sharma.

Middle Order

3) Virat Kohli ( Captain)

Probably the greatest number 3 ODI batsman ever, Virat Kohli cements his position at number 3. His dominance in this format is as such that he has 43 centuries second to Sachin Tendulkar's 49 centuries. He is also given the captaincy duties of the team.

4) Babar Azam

Pakistani captain Babar Azam is slotted to bat at number 4 in this team. His talent would be exciting to watch along with the experience of other batsmen in the lineup.He's a kind of player that we would love to see alongside Virat.

5)KL Rahul ( Wicket-keeper)

After an excellent world cup, the rise of KL Rahul has been exceptional. After making his spot in team at number 5 as a wicket-keeper he has been phenomenal and has shown us what is he capable of. Inclusion of KL Rahul ends up the batsmen now, we'll slot some all rounders.

All Rounders

6) Shakib al Hasan

Probably the best Asian all rounder, his abilities both with the bat and ball must not be doubted. In fact he is the only player in World Cup history to score more than 600 runs and take more than 15 wickets in a single edition. If not 10, but on any given day he will give 6-7 overs and can bat easily  at any spot.

7)Muhammad Nabi

The only Afghan player making into the XI, Mohd. Nabi has been consistent with bat as well as ball. He could be very dangerous down the order as a finisher. He's been economical as well, so he can deliver 10 over of his bowling at any given day.

Bowlers

8) Shaheen Shah Afridi

Pakistan's new pace sensation Shaheen Afridi has been under the limelight for a while from now. The extra bounce and swing he gets make him more dangerous as a new ball bowler and could be a trump card if the captain uses him wisely.

9) Kuldeep Yadav

Team India's go-to man when it comes to provide wickets cements his spot as the leading spinner of the team. Even at time being expensive his wicket taking abilities have not been hampered as he eventually gets the better of batsman. In fact he's the only Indian to pick 2 hattricks in ODI's.

10) Mustafizur Rahman

The backbone of Bangladesh's pace battery gets up a place in this team as well. Known for his excellent Death bowling abilities he has to be the sure shot selection in the XI. Leading wicket taker in World Cup for his team is to bowl at the last 10 overs as he is a potent Death bowler.

11) Jasprit Bumrah

    The Champion bowler sums up the XI. A very obvious selection his abilities with ball both at start and end of innings has been phenomenal. Given account on his performances for team India he's been the force to reckon with in current times.
