By Andile Vundla

Zimbabwe captain Sikandar Raza is back at number one in the latest ICC Men’s T20I all-rounder rankings.

The International Cricket Council (ICC) says Raza’s recent performances in the ongoing T20I World Cup have lifted him above Pakistan’s Saim Ayub, with the two regularly exchanging places in recent months.

He scored 45 against Sri Lanka and 27 against the West Indies, reclaiming the top spot from Ayub. India’s Shivam Dube and Afghanistan veteran Mohammad Nabi have also climbed into the top eight.

In the batting rankings, India’s Abhishek Sharma remains number one, ahead of England’s Phil Salt. Pakistan’s Sahibzada Farhan has risen to third after strong World Cup form.

Among bowlers, India’s Varun Chakravarthy still tops the list. South Africa seamer Corbin Bosch is the biggest mover, jumping 21 places to third following impressive outings against the UAE and India.
