Senior Bangladesh cricketer Shakib Al Hasan Wednesday jumped to the top of the latest ICC ODI rankings for all-rounders. The 32-year-old grabbed the top spot just ahead of the ODI World Cup after showcasing fine form during the tri-nation series in Ireland, which Bangladesh famously won to claim their first title in a multi-nation tournament.
In the three matches of the series, Shakib scored 140 runs, including two unbeaten half-centuries and also picked up two wickets.
The former Bangladesh skipper now has 359 points, 20 clear of Afghanistan's Rashid Khan, the previous holder of the top ranking, who has now slipped to No. 2.
The ranking list doesn’t feature a single Indian in the top-10 chart. Kedar Jadhav, who is part of India's World Cup team and is recovering from a shoulder injury, is the best-placed Indian at joint 12th spot alongside South Africa's Andile Phehlukwayo and Moeen Ali of England. Hardik Pandya completes the top 20 list.
Rashid's Afghanistan team-mate Mohammad Nabi completes the top three, with 319 points.
Pakistan are the only other team to have two players in the top 10, with Imad Wasim at No. 4 and Mohammad Hafeez claiming the seventh spot.
They are separated by New Zealand's Mitchell Santner (No.5) and England's Chris Woakes, who leapfrogged four places to No. 6.
West Indies captain Jason Holder is their top-ranked all-rounder at number eight spot followed by Zimbabwe's Sikandar Raza and Angelo Mathews of Sri Lanka.
England's Ben Stokes missed out on the top 10 by one spot, finishing eight points behind Mathews.
