ICC Breaks Silence After Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma's Names Go Missing From ODI Rankings
However ICC has now clarified that it was a technical glitch that saw Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma's named missing from the ICC list. "A number of issues in this week's rankings are currently being investigated," the ICC told Wisden. Later, both the names were added. Rohit is currently ranked No. 2 while Kohli is no. 4.
Meanwhile, 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.

After Rohit Sharma, Shreyas Iyer tipped as ODI skipper over Shubman Gill — 'He has ...'
After Rohit Sharma, Shreyas Iyer tipped as ODI skipper over Shubman Gill (Agency Photos) Shubman Gill currently serves as India's Test captain and was recently named the vice-captain of the T20I team for Asia Cup 2025. He also holds the position of vice-captain in India's ODI team. Gill has shown impressive leadership skills in his first Test series as captain against England. Many former players and cricket experts view him as India's future captain across all formats. However, IPL legend Ambati Rayudu, who represented India in 55 ODIs and six T20Is from 2013 to 2019, has a different perspective on India's next ODI captain.

He also guided Delhi Capitals and Punjab Kings to IPL finals in 2020 and 2025, respectively. During a YouTube podcast with Shubhankar Mishra, Rayudu expressed his choice for India's next ODI captain after Rohit Sharma, saying, "(Shreyas) Iyer. I think Iyer. He has extraordinary calmness.

Asia Cup squad: 'His case needs to be discussed' - Ex-India cricketer slams Harshit Rana's selection
NEW DELHI: The announcement of India's Asia Cup squad on Tuesday has ignited intense debate, with Ajit Agarkar and his panel facing scrutiny over the omission of proven performers like Shreyas Iyer, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Mohammed Siraj and Prasidh Krishna. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now One of the most polarising decisions has been the inclusion of Kolkata Knight Riders pacer Harshit Rana. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. Former India opener Aakash Chopra has questioned the logic behind Rana's selection, arguing that his record does not justify a place in the 15-member squad. Poll Do you agree with the inclusion of Harshit Rana in the Asia Cup squad? Yes, he deserves a spot No, there are better options 'Harshit Rana's case is very interesting. His case needs to be discussed because he came as a concussion replacement for Shivam Dube once, picked up three wickets as well, and became the Player of the Match, which was brilliant, but what about before and after that?' Chopra asked on his YouTube channel. Rana's IPL 2025 season was underwhelming, with 15 wickets at an economy rate of 10.18. Beyond that single standout international performance against England, Chopra felt the numbers painted a less convincing picture. India Asia Cup squad: Why Shreyas Iyer and Shubman Gill are biggest talking points 'The last IPL was extremely ordinary. His performances have not been very good. His numbers are not flattering. It doesn't seem like his numbers are strong enough to deserve a place in the side,' he said. Chopra also downplayed Rana's chances of featuring prominently in the tournament. 'The truth is also that he won't get to play all matches. In fact, he might get to play even one match when Bumrah isn't available. If he isn't getting a chance to play, you say that whoever is sitting out doesn't make a difference.' The former batter argued that Krishna, who won the IPL 2025 Purple Cap, and Siraj, with his recent form in England, were more deserving candidates. 'You will find that Prasidh Krishna should have got a chance, or you could have thought about rewarding Mohammed Siraj, but the team has once again gone towards Harshit,' he concluded.
