Bangladesh captain Shakib Al Hasan is the new No.1 ranked T20I all-rounder after he overtook Afghanistan veteran Mohammad Nabi following the Asia Cup.
However, Shakib (248 points) was far from his best in the Asia Cup, finishing with 35 runs and a single wicket.
Afghanistan’s captain, Nabi (246 pts), had a terrible tournament with 16 runs and three wickets in five matches.
India star Virat Kohli and Sri Lanka all-rounder Wanindu Hasaranga have been rewarded for their dominant performances at the Asia Cup by making giant strides on the latest ICC Men’s Player Rankings.
Kohli scored his first international century in almost three years and scored an impressive 276 runs at the Asia Cup. He improved a total of 14 spots to 15th overall on the T20I batter rankings due to his efforts.
Hasaranga’s rise was just as impressive, with the Sri Lanka match-winner jumping up three places to sixth on the bowler rankings and seven spots to fourth on the all-rounder list after he was crowned Player of the Tournament at the Asia Cup.
Meanwhile, Pakistan veteran Mohammad Rizwan maintains his lead at the head of the T20I batter rankings, while South Africa’s Aiden Markram jumps in front of Babar Azam to claim second place in a tight battle for top billing.
