Pacers unite as three Bangladesh quicks make rankings gains

Bangladesh
recently completed a narrow 2-1 series triumph over New Zealand at home and it
was their quicks that did the damage across the three-game series.
Shoriful
Islam, Mustafizur Rahman and Nahid Rana collected a total of 18 wickets for
Bangladesh during the series triumph and the trio were among the big rises on
the rankings for ODI bowlers.
Shoriful
gained 11 spots to rise to 28th, Rahman jumped 14 rungs to 41st and Player of
the Series Rana moved up 16 slots to 48th following his heroics as Bangladesh's
fast bowling stocks gained some traction ahead of next year's ICC Men's Cricket
World Cup.
It was a
similar story on the latest rankings for ODI batters, with Najmul Hossain
Shanto (up 11 places to 32nd) and Litton Das (up 15 spots to 65th) the biggest
eye-catchers after the experienced duo made strong contributions across the
series against New Zealand.
There are
also gains for Mehidy Hasan Miraz on the updated rankings for ODI all-rounders,
with the 28-year-old moving up one place to equal third following his unbeaten
innings of 22 and two-wicket haul during the series decider in Chattogram.
There is
more joy for Bangladesh players on the updated T20I rankings following the
first match of their series with New Zealand and it's a pair of their in-form
batters that make the biggest impression.
Right-hander
Towhid Hridoy hit an impressive half-century in a Player of the Match
performance in the series opener and was rewarded as he jumped nine places to
39th on the rankings for T20I batters, while teammate Parvez Hossain Emon (up
three rungs to equal 40th) also made gains.
Mahedi
Hasan (up three slots to equal 18th) was the big eye-catcher on the list for
T20I bowlers, while there was some upwards movement from a group of Nepal
players following the completion of their home series with the UAE.
Dipendra
Airee (up one place to 60th) and Kushal Bhurtel (up 18 spots to equal 66th)
make gains on the updated rankings for T20I batters, while the duo also jump up
the list for T20I all-rounders to fourth and 23rd respectively following their
latest exploits.
