Afghanistan reach historic high in the latest ICC Men's ODI Team Rankings.
Afghanistan have climbed to the sixth spot in the ICC Men's ODI Team Rankings, surpassing Sri Lanka to secure their highest-ever position.
Since making their ODI debut in 2009, Afghanistan have been ever-rising across formats, with historic feats such as wins over Pakistan and Sri Lanka in the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup in 2023 and a maiden ICC Men's T20 World Cup semi-final appearance in 2024.
