Two stars of the game are tied at the top of the T20I all-rounder rankings with a little more than a fortnight until the commencement of the T20 World Cup.
The race to be the No.1 ranked all-rounder at the start of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup has further intensified as two players share top billing following the latest update to the ICC Men’s T20 Player Rankings.
Just 23 rating points separate the top five players on the updated list for T20I all-rounders, with Bangladesh veteran Shakib Al Hasan joined by Sri Lanka captain Wanindu Hasaranga in the top spot with just over a fortnight to the start of the T20 World Cup.
Shakib drops three rating points following two appearances at the backend of Bangladesh’s recent five-match T20I series against Zimbabwe, with Hasaranga joining the veteran in a share of the top spot and Afghanistan’s Mohammad Nabi just a further 10 rating point adrift.
Zimbabwe’s Sikandar Raza gains two places to rise to fourth on the back of some strong performances against Bangladesh, while South Africa’s Aiden Markram loses one spot to drop to fifth ahead of the Proteas’ campaign at the T20 World Cup.
