Bangladesh players rewarded on latest rankings update

A host of white-ball stars from Bangladesh have been the big winners on the latest update to the ICC Men's T20I Player Rankings.

Bangladesh recently completed their three-game T20I series at home against New Zealand, with one washout meaning the series finished tied at 1-1.

But it didn't stop a group of players from finding their best form and moving up the rankings, with Bangladesh batter and Player of the Series Towhid Hridoy among the biggest improvers as he gained two places to jump to 37th on the list for T20I batters following the right-hander's 84 runs from two innings.

India's Abhishek Sharma remains at the top of this list, while Bangladesh captain Litton Das (up one spot to 52nd) is another of the movers following his innings of 26 in the series finale in Mirpur.

It's a similar story on the latest rankings for T20I bowlers, with Bangladesh duo Mahedi Hasan (up one place to 17th) and Shoriful Islam (up nine rungs to 54th) among the movers following some decent efforts with the ball against the Black Caps.

New Zealand pair Ben Sears (up 10 slots to 51st) and Ish Sodhi (up four places to equal 88th) also made ground up the bowling charts, with Sodhi catapulting himself to the top of the list for Kiwi bowlers in T20I cricket during the series in Bangladesh.

There was also some change on the latest ODI rankings following the completion of the tri-series between hosts Nepal, Oman and the UAE.

Oman opener Jatinder Singh gained seven places to move to equal 65th for ODI batters, while teammate Shakeel Ahmed (up nine rungs to 31st) was among the biggest improvers on the list for ODI bowlers.

There was also some joy for the tri-series hosts as Dipendra Singh Airee gained 12 places to move to 31st on the list for ODI all-rounders.
