5. Jos Buttler (wicketkeeper-batsman):
The English wicket-keeper began 2016 brilliantly when he scored a 27-ball fifty against South Africa in his very second match of the year albeit in a losing cause. He scored runs in every part of the world and fully deserves a place in the team. Shehzad was a prime candidate for the wicket-keeper batsman’s role but given the fact that the English gloveman scored in all conditions and had a good year behind the stumps, he is the man to stand behind the wickets.
