His outstanding performances in the recent T20I series against New Zealand played a crucial role in this rise.

Another Pakistani pacer, Abbas Afridi, also made significant progress, climbing eight places to secure the 36th position following his strong performances in the series.
New Zealand’s Jacob Duffy has continued his remarkable rise in the bowling rankings. After jumping 23 places last week, he gained another five positions, securing the 5th spot with a career-best 694 rating points.
Duffy has been the standout bowler of the series, finishing as the leading wicket-taker with 13 scalps at an astonishing average of 8.38.
In the batting charts, New Zealand’s Mark Chapman surged 10 places to reach the 41st spot, following his explosive 94-run knock in the third T20I against Pakistan in Auckland.
