BSS, Dhaka :
Ace all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan was the only Bangladeshi player to find the place in the International Cricket Council (ICC) ODI XI of the decade.
Based on the performance of the past decade, the ICC announced the XI of all three formats of cricket on Sunday. While Shakib, currently the No.1 all-rounder of the ICC ODI rankings found the place in the ODI format, no Bangladeshi players were featured in the other two formats.

In the 2019 World Cup, he broke all kinds of possible records, scoring 606 runs and taking 11 wickets to become the first player in the cricket’s extravaganza to earn the double of 500 plus runs and 10 plus wickets.
In 2009, he was first crowned No.1 ODI all-rounder and most of the time in the decade he held this spot. Even he is going to end the 2020 as the No.1 all-rounder.
Shakib played 131 ODIs from 2010 to 2020. At this time, he has scored 4,276 runs in batting with an average of 38.87. He had five centuries under his belt during this period. In the past decade, he however claimed 177 wickets at an average of 30.15. His best bowling figure was 5-29 which came against Afghanistan in the 2019 World Cup.
