Dubai, May 6

Bangladesh players Towhid Hridoy, captain Litton Das, and bowlers Mahedi Hasan and Shoriful Islam have improved their positions in the latest ICC T20I Player Rankings after performing well against New Zealand in a three-match T20I series at home.

The series ended 1-1, with one match washed out. Even though there was no winner, several players delivered strong performances and moved up in the rankings.

Hridoy, who was named Player of the Series, moved up two spots to 37th place among T20I batters after scoring 84 runs in two innings. Litton also improved slightly, moving up one place after scoring 26 runs in the final match in Mirpur.

India's Abhishek Sharma continues to hold the number one ranking despite not playing international cricket since March 9. Ishan Kishan remains in second place, just four points behind him. Pakistan's SahibZada Farhan is placed at third position with a point difference of 23 with Kishan.

Among bowlers, Bangladesh's Mahedi Hasan moved up one spot to 17th, while Shoriful Islam made a big jump of nine places to reach 54th. While

For New Zealand, Ben Sears climbed 10 spots to 51st, and Ish Sodhi moved up four places to joint 88th. Sodhi also became the highest wicket-taker for New Zealand in the shortest format as he completed 165 wickets and surpassed Tim Southee, who has 164 wickets to his name.

There were also some changes in the ODI rankings after a tri-series involving Nepal, Oman, and the UAE.

Oman opener Jatinder Singh moved up seven places to joint 65th among ODI batters. His teammate Shakeel Ahmed rose nine spots to 31st in the bowlers' rankings, making him one of the biggest movers.

Nepal also had something to celebrate, as Dipendra Singh Airee jumped 12 places to reach 31st among ODI all-rounders.

Interesting that Ishan Kishan is only 4 points behind Abhishek. But with India not playing many T20Is right now, it might stay like this for a while. Would love to see our boys back in action soon! Also, nice to see Nepal's Dipendra Singh Airee moving up in the ODI all-rounder rankings.

Bangladesh's bowling attack is looking solid - Mahedi Hasan and Shoriful Islam moving up is good for them. But I feel the ICC rankings sometimes don't reflect form properly. Abhishek hasn't played in months but still top? That's the system I guess. 🤷‍♂️

That's a cool stat about Ish Sodhi overtaking Tim Southee as New Zealand's highest T20 wicket-taker. Sodhi has been a consistent performer for them. And nice to see smaller teams like Nepal and Oman getting recognition in ODIs too. Cricket is truly expanding! 🙌

Good analysis. The Bangladesh-New Zealand series was quite competitive despite the washout. Hridoy deserves that Player of the Series award. One minor suggestion though - the article could have mentioned more details about the ODI tri-series teams' performances, not just individual rankings.

Loving the rise of young Indian talent like Abhishek Sharma and Ishan Kishan in the T20 rankings! But I wish the article mentioned whether any Indian bowlers made moves. Anyway, great to see cricket growing in Bangladesh and associate nations like Nepal and Oman. The game needs more diversity!
