England star Amy Jones continues rise in Rankings update
Jones, who rose three spots to seventh in the ICC Women's ODI Batting Rankings after a sensational hundred in the opening ODI of the three-game series against West Indies, continued her upward rise on the back of another hundred in the series.
Her 129 from 98 in the second ODI against the Maroon Warriors helped her enter the top five places in the Women's ODI Batting Rankings. She now sits in the fourth spot with 689 Rating Points to her name.
Laura Wolvaardt, Smriti Mandhana, and Nat Sciver-Brunt continue to occupy the top three spots.
Courtesy of Jones' brilliance, England had an unbeaten run in the ODI series that followed the T20Is against West Indies, which they had won 3-0 as well, an ICC report said.
The experienced Kate Cross was another protagonist in England's win, and finished with three scalps in the series, including an economical 1/15 in the final ODI. She gains a spot to sit in eighth place in the ICC Women's ODI Bowling Rankings.
With the upcoming India tour, Jones and Cross along with other England players have an opportunity to further improve their positions in the Women's Rankings.

Kuldeep Yadav slips to third as Maharaj regains number one spot in ODI rankings
India wrist spinner Kuldeep Yadav has slipped to third place in the latest ICC ODI rankings for bowlers released on Wednesday with South African tweaker Kehsav Maharaj reclaiming the top position. Maharaj regained the top position after helping his team beat Australia by 98 runs in the first ODI of their three-match series in Cairns. The 35-year-old left-arm spinner, who was named Player of the Match after grabbing five for 33, overtook Kuldeep and Sri Lanka's Maheesh Theekshana to the top spot, which he had earlier held briefly in November and December 2023. Apart from Kuldeep, Ravindra Jadeja is the only Indian bowler who is in the top 10 in the updated list. The Indian team has not played an ODI match since their title triumph in the Champions Trophy. West Indies fast bowler Jayden Seales was another one to make huge inroads in the bowling rankings after his superb haul of six for 18 in the final game of their three-match series against Pakistan, moving up 15 spots to 18th position. Pakistan leg-spinner Abrar Ahmed (up 15 places to joint-39th) and West Indies off-spinner Roston Chase (up five places to 58th) are others to move up the list. In the men's batting rankings, Shubman Gill continues to top the list with 784 points, with Shreyas Iyer being the other Indian in the top 10 at sixth position. West Indies captain Shai Hope is up two places to ninth position after scoring 120 not out in the final ODI against Pakistan while Aiden Markram (up four places to 21st), Temba Bavuma (up five places to 23rd) and Mitchell Marsh (up six places to 48th) are the others to progress. In the men's T20I rankings, India's Abhishek Sharma and Tilak Varma remained on the top two places with skipper Suryakumar Yadav in the sixth spot and Yashasvi Jaiswal in 10th position. South Africa's Dewald Brevis continues his upward movement, gaining nine spots to reach 12th position while Australians Marsh and Glenn Maxwell have progressed four and 10 spots, respectively, to reach 25th and 30th positions. The T20I bowling rankings see Australia seamers Nathan Ellis (up three places to ninth position) and Josh Hazlewood (up two places to 18th) make significant gains, with South Africa fast bowler Kagiso Rabada moving up from 44th to 37th position.

Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli reappear in ICC ODI rankings, Babar Azam pushed back to third place
India veterans Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli are back in the International Cricket Council's ODI rankings after a brief disappearance earlier on Wednesday. The pair had disappeared from the standings in the latest update in which Pakistan's Babar Azam took the second spot that Rohit wasn occupying and New Zealand's Daryl Mitchell replaced Kohli at fourth spot. While the ICC's statement on the rankings, which they had posted on X at 1.33pm IST, didn't make a mention about the pair being dropped, it had caused a flurry on social media. Rohit and Kohli were then back in the rankings a few hours later and the ICC is yet to say anything about the sequence of events. Rohit remains in second spot, thus pushing Babar back down to third place, while Kohli has returned to fourth and pushed Mitchell back down to fifth. The 38-year-old Rohit and 36-year-old Kohli have both retired from T20Is and Test cricket, making ODIs the only format of international cricket that they are still active in. With the frequency of ODI matches nosediving in recent years, it has led to a lot of speculation over whether they still remain in Indian selectors' plans going into the swing of games for the 2027 World Cup. Rohit remains India's captain in ODIs. He had retired from Tests during the 2025 IPL and Kohli did the same towards the end of the season. Both players retired from T20Is after powering India to victory in the T20 World Cup last year. The last time they played any form of international cricket was the final of the Champions Trophy against New Zealand on March 9, which India won by four wickets, Rohit was declared player of the match for his 76 off 83 balls. India wrist spinner Kuldeep Yadav has slipped to third place, with South Africa's Keshav Maharaj returning to the top spot. Maharaj regained the top position after helping his team beat Australia by 98 runs in the first ODI of their three-match series in Cairns. The 35-year-old left-arm spinner, who was named Player of the Match after grabbing five for 33, overtook Kuldeep and Sri Lanka's Maheesh Theekshana to the top spot, which he had earlier held briefly in November and December 2023. In the men's batting rankings, Shubman Gill continues to top the list with 784 points. He is one of four Indians in the top 10 of the rankings, with Shreyas Iyer being the other Indian apart from Rohit and Kohli. Iyer sits at sixth place. West Indies captain Shai Hope is up two places to ninth position after scoring 120 not out in the final ODI against Pakistan while Aiden Markram (up four places to 21st), Temba Bavuma (up five places to 23rd) and Mitchell Marsh (up six places to 48th) are the others to progress. In the men's T20I rankings, India's Abhishek Sharma and Tilak Varma remained on the top two places with skipper Suryakumar Yadav in the sixth spot and Yashasvi Jaiswal in 10th position. South Africa's Dewald Brevis continues his upward movement, gaining nine spots to reach 12th position while Australians Marsh and Glenn Maxwell have progressed four and 10 spots, respectively, to reach 25th and 30th positions.

AUS vs SA: Australia spinner Adam Zampa guilty of breach of ICC Code of Conduct
Australia leg-spinner Adam Zampa was reprimanded after he was found guilty of breaching Article 2.3 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel, which relates to 'use of an audible obscenity during an International Match.' One demerit point has been added to Zampa's disciplinary record, for whom it was the first offence in a 24-month period. The incident took place during the 37th over of South Africa's batting innings in the first ODI against Australia in Cairns — Zampa used inappropriate language after a misfield and overthrow off his bowling, which was picked up on the stump microphone and broadcast. Level 1 breaches carry a minimum penalty of an official reprimand, a maximum penalty of 50 per cent of a player's match fee, and one or two demerit points. Zampa admitted to his offence and accepted the official sanction as proposed by Andy Pycroft of the Emirates ICC Elite Panel of Match Referees. The first ODI between the two sides ended with South Africa clinching a 98-run win. Zampa contributed 11 runs with the bat and returned with bowling figures of one for 58 for Australia.
