Afghanistan star Rashid Khan regained the No.1 T20I bowling position in the most recent ICC rankings following his three wickets at less than a run a ball in Afghanistan’s historic 2-1 series win over Pakistan in Sharjah this week.
Rashid has displaced Sri Lanka’s Wanindu Hasaranga to grab the top rank. Rashid took one wicket in the three T20Is, allowing 62 runs off his 12 overs.
On the other hand, Mujeeb Ur Rehman, Rashid’s teammate, was promoted from position 10 to position 8 due to his bowling performance against Pakistan.
Meanwhile, Afghan pacer Fazalhaq Farooqi moved up 12 spots to a career-high third rank because of his five series wickets.
Ibrahim Zadran has moved up four spots to position 41 in the batting rankings, and Muhammad Nabi has placed 58 from position 63.
Since his ascent to the top in February 2018, Rashid has constantly been among the best in the format, and in November of last year, he was at the top.
Regarding Pakistan’s bowlers, Shadab Khan moved up six to 12th among bowlers, while Mohammad Wasim moved up 32 to position 23.
