Sadia Iqbal Reclaims No. 1 Spot In Bowlers' Rankings
The Pakistan left-arm spinner surged back to the summit, overtaking Australia quick Annabel Sutherland and India’s experienced tweaker Deepti Sharma in the latest update to the ICC Women’s Player Rankings. Iqbal’s rise comes on the back of a strong showing in Pakistan’s recent three-match T20I series in South Africa, where she emerged as the joint leading wicket-taker.
Iqbal claimed five wickets across the series, with her standout performance a superb 3-18 in the deciding match in Benoni, playing a pivotal role in her return to the top of the standings. That decisive spell lifted her two places in the rankings, restoring her to a position she previously held toward the end of 2024 and again briefly last year. Sutherland had reclaimed the No.1 ranking only last month, but Iqbal’s consistency and match-winning impact have now seen her move back in front.
