Due to his steady play during the five-match series versus the West Indies, which is tied at 2-2 with one match remaining, Adil Rashid has risen two spots to take the top spot in the Men’s T20I player rankings.

After taking five wickets throughout the three games to get to the summit of the bowlers’ rankings, the England spinner accomplished a career-long first. He has surpassed Ravi Bishnoi and Rashid Khan, two other leg-spinners. The second spot was Rashid’s previous best, which he held until September 2023.

Tabraiz Shamsi as well as Kuldeep Yadav, both left-arm wrist spinners, are among the other bowlers to progress in the ODI rankings. Shamsi has climbed into the top 10, while Yadav has risen 13 spots to 24th place with his five-wicket performance in the third and final series match versus South Africa in Johannesburg.

Following the most recent weekly rankings update, pacer Mohammad Siraj of India moved to 69th and spinner Keshav Maharaj of South Africa went up five spots to 19th are among the other players who have risen. Suryakumar Yadav tops the T20I batting records for batters, with England’s Phil Salt rocketing to the 20th spot and India’s opener Yashaswi Jaiswal rising to the 14th spot.

Usman Khawaja might face ban from apex cricket council

Usman Khawaja, the Australian batsman, is going to continue to face criticism from the Apex Cricket Council because of his antics during the first Test match versus Pakistan in Perth.

In light of the continuing crisis in Palestine, the seasoned opener demonstrated his support for “all lives are equal” by donning a black armband. At first, Khawaja had intended to play with specially made shoes bearing the phrases “All lives are equal” and “Freedom is a human right,” but the council strongly advised against it. In the end, he covered the inscriptions on his shoes with black tape.
