Just like the ICC Men's T20I Team of 2021, no Indian finds a place in the Men's ODI Team of 2021. Pakistan's Babar Azam has been named as the leader of ICC Men's ODI Team of 2021, and Pakistan batter Fakhar Zaman is also in the XI.

In the side, two Proteas players have been named along with two players from Sri Lanka. Three players from Bangladesh are there in the eleven as well.
