The ICC on Wednesday released a weekly update of the rankings based on the performance of the last four matches of the Bangladesh-Australia T20 series and the first Test between India and England.
Shakib lost the top spot in the rankings in March 2016. Before entering the series, he was far behind Mohammad Nabi of Afghanistan in rating points. He added 34 points to his name in a great performance. Now Shakib (26) is one point ahead, Nabi is 265 points.
Shakib made an important contribution on the way to losing the series to Australia for the first time. Bangladesh all-rounder scored the second highest score of 114 runs with the bat and took 6 wickets. Become the best player in the series.
Shakib set a unique record at the end of the five-match series last Monday. He is the only cricketer in the International Twenty20 to score a double of 1,000 runs and 100 wickets.
Shakib is having a great time, it can be said. In the fight for ICC Player of the Month, he has surpassed Mitchell Marsh of Australia and Hayden Walsh Jr. of the West Indies as the best of July. He got back his old throne.
Mustafizur Rahman, who has been suffering from the Australians with the ball throughout the series, has made a big leap in the bowlers' rankings. The left-arm pacer took 6 wickets at an average of 6.56 with just 3.52 runs per over.
In this performance, he has advanced 20 steps in the ranking. Now you are in the tenth place. This is the first time after 2016 that Mustafiz took place in the top ten.
Nasum Ahmed, who took the second highest 8 wickets in the series with great bowling, has also improved in the rankings. The left-arm spinner has entered the top 100 and is at number 7.
South Africa's Tabriz Shamsi remains at the top of the T20 bowlers' rankings. And the best of the batsmen is David Malan of England as usual.
