Rashid Khan’s impressive showing in the Asia Cup 2018 has helped him become the top-ranked all-rounder in ODI rankings, the International Cricket Council confirmed on Sunday (September 30). Shakib’s patchy form and early exit played a part in the Bangladesh all-rounder slipping to the second spot but Rashid stole the show with ten wickets from five games at an average of 17.20 in addition to the 87 runs he scored at an average of 43.50 – which included a match-winning unbeaten 57 against Bangladesh. The legspinner became the first from his country to reach the top spot in ICC rankings.
Rashid jumped six places to take the top spot while Mohammad Nabi climbed up one spot to reach the third position. Mitchell Santner and Mohammad Hafeez complete the top five in the list.
