Varun Chakravathy Remains No. 3 T20I Bowler; England's Adil Rashid Rises To Second
Summary is AI generated, newsroom reviewed
Adil Rashid's consistent performance led to his rise to second in ICC T20I Bowling Rankings.
Brydon Carse's two wickets in the final T20Is improved his ranking to 52nd overall.
Ben Duckett's 84 runs in the third T20I propelled him to a career-best 16th in batting rankings.
England's white-ball contingent was awarded after a string of standout performances against the West Indies propelled several players up the ICC Men's T20I Rankings, with veteran leg-spinner Adil Rashid leading the charge. Rashid, 37, was a model of consistency in England's 3-0 T20I series sweep, returning figures of 1/22 at Chester-Le-Street, 1-59 in a high-scoring clash at Bristol, and a match-turning 2/30 in the final game at Southampton.
His efforts were enough to leapfrog both Sri Lanka's Wanindu Hasaranga and India's Varun Chakaravarthy, moving him into second place in the T20I Bowling Rankings with a rating of 710, just 13 points behind New Zealand's Jacob Duffy, the current No. 1.
The leggie's rise encapsulates a dominant run for England, who extended their momentum from the earlier ODI series win over the same opponents. Brydon Carse, another of England's pace options, also saw a reward for his tidy contributions. His two wickets across the final two T20Is pushed him up 16 spots to 52nd in the rankings.
The series was rich in runs, and the batter rankings reflected that. Ben Duckett made a stunning impact with a blazing 84 off 46 balls in the third T20I — a knock that catapulted him 48 places to a career-best 16th. Harry Brook 's pair of quickfire cameos, 35* and 34, earned him a six-place bump to joint-38th.
West Indies had their moments, too. Captain Shai Hope 's pair of 40-plus scores helped him climb 14 places to 15th in the batting list, while Rovman Powell 's explosive 79 not out from 45 balls in the final game earned him a place in the top 20. All-rounder Jason Holder also enjoyed a productive series with both bat and ball, moving up 16 places to 26th in the All-Rounder Rankings thanks to 70 runs and a crucial wicket.

Warren pitches 6 2/3 innings to lead the Yankees to 6-2 win over the Twins Warren , who allowed homers to Byron Buxton and Trevor Larnach, struck out seven and walked none before Luke Weaver and David Bednar finished off New York's 23rd win in its last 30 regular-season meetings with Minnesota.

The right-hander struck out nine and tied a career high by allowing three homers. Matthews got the first two outs of the third before Stanton hit his fastball into the Yankee bullpen in right-center and Rice hit a slider to right field. The Yankees are 10-3 when homering at least four times this year. Stanton hit his 10th homer in his last 25 games and his first when playing the field since Aug. 3, 2023 against Houston.

Correa plays 1st game in Houston since trade as Bregman visits for 1st time since joining Red Sox
HOUSTON (AP) — Carlos Correa and Alex Bregman were back at Daikin Park on Monday. HT Image But while Correa was making his triumphant return home after the recent blockbuster trade that brought him back to the Houston Astros from the Minnesota Twins, Bregman was in the ballpark for the first time as a visitor after signing with the Boston Red Sox this offseason. Monday is the opener of a three-game series between the teams. 'That adds an extra little bit of what it's going to mean for our fans,' Houston manager Joe Espada said. 'Both players, what they've done for this organization, it's incredible, right? Bregman, he's one of the best players that ever wore this uniform, and now we get Carlos back, coming in here and (helping) us win the division. It's going to be electric here.' Bregman, drafted second overall by the Astros in 2015, spent his first nine seasons in Houston where he helped the team to eight playoff berths, including seven trips to the AL Championship Series, four World Series appearances and two championships. The third baseman was named an All-Star twice in Houston, won a Gold Glove last season and a Silver Slugger Award in 2019 when he came in second in AL MVP voting. Bregman was asked about the timing of them both returning to Houston on the same day. 'I was shocked at the news during the trade deadline and it was awesome and it looks like he's fit right back in,' Bregman said. 'He's a great player, a leader, great teammate. It's always difficult to compete against him because he's such a good competitor, but we're gonna give it our best shot today.' Correa, who waived his no-trade clause to return to Houston, is back after playing for the Twins since 2022. The top pick in the 2012 draft, he spent his first eight seasons with the Astros, pairing with Bregman for many of those years to transform the Astros from league laughingstock to perennial contender. He's been great in the nine games since the trade and entered Monday batting .405 with 15 hits, including two homers and six RBIs. He said returning to the team where his career began after being gone for four years is surreal. 'It's a second chance to come back here and put on this uniform and it's a chance that I will never take for granted,' he said. 'I'm gonna go out there and give it my best every single day I go out there.' Correa, who has been slowed by injuries in recent years, said he's feeling rejuvenated since rejoining the Astros and moving to third base after spending his entire career playing shortstop. 'Being at third base I don't get as tired, so I feel like my legs are a lot fresher,' he said. Bregman, who spent years playing third base in Houston while Correa was at shortstop, has no doubt that he'll excel at his new position. 'He's going to do great over there,' Bregman said. 'He's got an incredible arm. We always used to say if he catches the ball, the guy is out because of how good the arm is and he's going to make the transition great. He's a Platinum Glove winner at shortstop, so third base should be pretty easy for him.' Though Bregman faced the Astros recently in Boston when the Red Sox swept a three-game series, he admitted that Monday would be emotional because of all the memories he made here. He spoke of what stuck out to him the most from his time in Houston. 'I'd say the championships and just seeing how resilient the city is and how it comes together when times are tough,' he said. 'And the people are great, my teammates, the coaches, everything, all the memories in the clubhouse, busting our tail trying to find a way to win a baseball game every single day, the everyday grind of it, it was fun for us.' As for Correa, he's soaking up every minute of being back with the team. The best part, he said, is reuniting with close friend and second baseman Jose Altuve. 'As soon as I got to Boston, I gave him a big hug and I told him I missed him,' Correa said. 'He's an unbelievable player, but the human side of it, I get to hang out with him after the games, we get to go eat after the games (and) we just talk shop. It's something that I definitely missed a lot and I get to do it again so I'm not gonna take it for granted.' Altuve shares his sentiments. 'I'm really excited he's back,' he said. 'I really enjoyed my time playing with him and I'm going to enjoy playing with him again and we're all excited about him.' ___ AP MLB:
