Shakib reclaims top spot of ICC T20I all-rounders
PBC News: Star all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan has regained the top spot in the ICC T20I all-rounders’ rankings for the first time since early 2018.
ICC published the updated ranking on Wednesday, after the T20I series against Australia.
The Bangladesh stalwart earned 34 rating points over the course of the final four T20Is against Australia to move to 286 points – one more than Afghanistan’s Mohammad Nabi.
Richard Berrington, Khawar Ali and Collins Obuya occupy the third, fourth and fifth position respectively in the rankings.
The 34-year-old was the Player of the Series in Bangladesh’s 4-1 win over Australia, finishing with the third-most wickets (seven at 18.14) and second-most runs (114 at 22.80) in either side.
Shakib was not the only major winner from Bangladesh on the latest rankings update, with Mustafizur Rahman climbing 20 spots to move to 10th on the T20I bowling rankings with 619 rating points. The wily seamer improved his rating by an even 100 across the final four T20Is against Australia, finishing with a campaign haul of seven wickets at 8.57, leaking just 3.52 runs per over.
