Bangladesh’s Shakib Al Hasan has retained the top spot among all-rounders as the International Cricket Council on Sunday came out with its latest ranking of players in One Day Internationals.
England’s Ben Stokes has gained nine places to reach second position as all-rounder.
In the ICC ODI team rankings, England remain in first position with 123 points but only ahead of India on decimal points while New Zealand and Australia are similarly both on 112 with the former fractionally ahead and South Africa fifth on 110 points.
Bangladesh with 89 points is placed seventh.
India captain Virat Kohli has retained the top position among ODI batsmen after scoring five half-centuries in the ongoing World Cup but his compatriot and opener Rohit Sharma has bridged the gap in the latest rankings after a stupendous run in the league stage of the 10-team tournament.
Kohli’s 442 runs at an average of 63.14 have seen him gain one point and reach 891 points while Rohit has bridged the gap from 51 points to only six after becoming the first batsman to score five centuries in the World Cup. His 885 points going into the semi-finals are a career-high.
