Dubai, June 10

England's wicketkeeper-batter Amy Jones continued her rise in the recent ICC Women's Rankings update, as per the official website of the ICC.

Jones, who rose three spots to seventh in the ICC Women's ODI Batting Rankings after a sensational hundred in the opening ODI of the three-game series against West Indies, continued her upward rise on the back of another hundred.

Her 129 from 98 in the second ODI against the Maroon Warriors helped her enter the top five places in the Women's ODI Batting Rankings. She now sits in the fourth spot with 689 Rating Points. Laura Wolvaardt, Smriti Mandhana, and Nat Sciver-Brunt occupy the top three spots.

Courtesy of Jones' brilliance, England went on an unbeaten run in the ODI series that followed the T20Is against West Indies, which they also won 3-0.

The experienced Kate Cross was another protagonist in England's win, and finished with three scalps in the series, including an economical 1/15 in the final ODI. She wins eighth place in the ICC Women's ODI Bowling Rankings.

With the upcoming India tour, Jones, Cross and other England players have an opportunity to improve their positions in the Women's Rankings.

Jones' back-to-back centuries show real consistency 👏 But I'm more excited about the upcoming India-England series! Our women's team has been in great form too. Should be a cracking contest!

While Jones' rise is commendable, ICC rankings sometimes feel biased towards certain countries. Our Indian players often don't get enough matches against top teams to improve their rankings. BCCI should schedule more bilateral series!

Wonderful to see women's cricket growing globally! Though I wish Indian media gave our women cricketers half the coverage they give to men's IPL. Harmanpreet & co deserve more spotlight ✨

Jones' 129 off 98 balls is proper batting! But let's not forget our Jemimah Rodrigues' recent performances. The England tour will be a great test for both teams. Hope it's broadcast properly in India 🤞

As a cricket mom, I love showing my daughter these women cricketers as role models! Amy Jones' journey is inspiring, but I'm waiting for the day when an Indian woman tops ALL batting rankings 💪
