Mustafizur Rahman has perhaps
become the first Bangladeshi cricketer to make his place among the top five
players in the latest ICC ODI bowlers’ rankings. His good performance in the
recently concluded three-match ODI series against West Indies has helped him to
move five places up to fifth position with 695 rating points, his career best
rank in ODIs ever. The southpaw, who claimed five wickets in three matches, is
followed by Jasprit Bumrah (India), Rashid Khan (Afghanistan), Kuldeep Yadav
(India) and Kagiso Rabada (South Africa).
Off-spinner
Mehedi Hasan Miraz has jumped 19 places to reach his career best ODI ranking of
28th after bagging six wickets against the Caribbean team. Bangladesh’s ODI
captain Mashrafe Bin Mortazahas climbed 10 places up to 23rd. He also took the
same number of wickets and along with Miraz shared the spot as the highest
wicket taker in the series, which Bangladesh won 2-1 at home. However,
all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan is ranked 26th in the ODI bowlers’ rankings.
Now,
let us look at the position of the Bangladeshi batsmen in the ICC player
rankings for ODI batsmen. The wicketkeeper-batsman Mushfiqur Rahim is enjoying
his career-best 15th spot in the list with 712 rating points. Left-handed
opening batsman Soumya Sarkar is ranked 42nd while his right-handed opening
pair Liton Das is positioned 98th after rising four places.
