T20i player ran

Sri Lankan Wanindu Hasaranga: Pakistan's batter Salman Agha and spinner Abrar Ahmed have reached their career-high rankings in the ICC Men’s ODI Player Rankings following impressive performances in their home series versus South Africa and Sri Lanka this week.

Salman’s match-winning 105 not out off 87 balls in the first ODI against Sri Lanka in Rawalpindi, following scores of 69 and five not out in the previous series against South Africa, has helped him climb 14 places to 16th in the batting rankings. He is now the second-highest ranked Pakistani player in this format, after Babar Azam, who is seventh.

Abrar’s performances of taking three wickets for 53 runs and four for 27 against South Africa have boosted him 17 places to 20th among bowlers. He is now only four spots behind Shaheen Shah Afridi, Pakistan’s top bowler in the format, ranked 16th position.
