Mustafizur Rahman has soared into the top 5 for the first time in ICC ODI Bowling Rankings following Bangladesh’s 2-1 triumph in the ODI series against West Indies. With 695 points, the fast bowler is currently at the fifth position, seven points behind fourth-placed Kagiso Rabada.
Mehidy Hasan Miraz has also earned a career-best 19th position after finishing the series as the joint highest wicket taker alongside Mashrafe Mortaza, who has moved up 10 places to the 23rd position.
Mustafizur is the highest ODI wicket-taker for Bangladesh this year, taking 29 wickets in 18 matches. Mashrafe bagged 26 wickets in 20 ODIs while Mehidy took 18 scalps in 15 matches.
After facing a few injury layoffs, Shakib Al Hasan was able to make 15 ODI appearances, where he took 21 wickets. He now trails top-ranked Rashid Khan by just one point in ICC Player Rankings for ODI All-rounders.
After a stellar performance in the just-concluded three match series, West Indies' Shai Hope has rocketed 17 spots to the eighth position among the ODI batsmen. He smashed two hundreds in the series to amass 297 runs.
The Team Rankings for both Bangladesh and West Indies still remain the same, with the former placed two spots above the Caribbean side, at seven.
