England's Adil Rashid rises to number two spot in T20I bowling rankings
Rashid was consistent across England's 3-0 series victory over the West Indies, claiming 1/22 (4 overs) at Chester-le-Street, 1/59 (4 overs) in a high-scoring affair in Bristol, and 2/30 (4 overs) in Southampton, as per ICC.
His efforts mean he passes Wanindu Hasaranga and Varun Chakaravarthy to second on the T20I Bowling Rankings, with his rating of 710 in touching distance to Kiwi quick Jacob Duffy on 723. England were strong in their home stand, picking up where they left off in their victorious ODI series efforts against the same opponents.
Rashid's teammate Brydon Carse also enjoyed a Bowling Rankings jump, with two wickets across the final two matches, leading to a 16-spot jump to 52nd (493).
Runs flowed in the three-match series, with players from both sides enjoying significant jumps on the updated T20I Batter Rankings.
A blazing 84 (46) from Ben Duckett in the third T20I was a major help in his 48-spot jump to 16th, with teammate Harry Brook's 35 not out (22) and 34 (20) helping him to a six-spot jump to a share of 38th.
On the other side, two knocks in the 40s from Shai Hope helped the West Indies skipper move 14 spots to 15th, while Rovman Powell made a move into the top 20 in large part thanks to an effort of 79 not out from 45 balls in the final T20I.
Jason Holder's series of 70 runs and a wicket meanwhile, helped the West Indian up 16 spots to 26 in the All-Rounder Rankings.

Corbin Bosch celebrates after taking the wicket of Ben Dwarshuis of Australia during game two in the T20 International series (Photo by) South Africa all-rounder Corbin Bosch has been handed a penalty for breaching the ICC Code of Conduct during the second T20I against Australia in Darwin on Tuesday. The incident occurred in the 17th over of Australia's innings when Bosch, after dismissing Ben Dwarshuis, made a gesture towards the opposition dugout in what officials deemed a provocative send-off. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! According to the ICC, Bosch was found guilty of breaching Article 2.5 of the Code, which covers 'using language, actions or gestures which disparage or which could provoke an aggressive reaction from a batter upon his/her dismissal during an International Match.' As a result, one demerit point has been added to Bosch's disciplinary record. He accepted the sanction proposed by the ICC Match Officials, meaning no formal hearing was required. The match itself was a high-scoring affair, with South Africa looking to level the three-match series after losing the opener. Dewald Brevis stole the show with a remarkable 125 not out from 56 balls, guiding the visitors to 218/7. His hundred came in just 41 balls, making him the youngest Men's T20I centurion for South Africa and registering the second-fastest T20I ton for the Proteas.

However, the hosts were bowled out for 165, with Bosch and Kwena Maphaka both taking three wickets each to seal a 53-run victory for South Africa. Poll Do you think Corbin Bosch deserved the penalty for his gesture towards the dugout?

Rohit Sharma Rises To No. 2 In ODI Rankings Despite Not Playing Since March. Here's Why
Despite frequent talks regarding his cricket future, India's ODI captain Rohit Sharma has risen one spot in the latest edition of the ICC ODI men's batting rankings, taking him to No. 2 spot in the list. Rohit claims second spot after former Pakistan captain Babar Azam lost rating points, following a poor series against West Indies. India's Test captain Shubman Gill retains the No. 1 spot in the ODI rankings, while stalwart Virat Kohli also keeps his position in fourth. Rohit last played for India during the Champions Trophy 2025, where he captained the team to their second title. Rohit slammed 180 runs in five matches - the fourth-most for India - but boasted the highest strike-rate among India's top-order batters. Babar made only 56 runs in the recently-concluded three-match ODI series against West Indies, as Pakistan lost the series 2-1. This has caused him to drop to third in the rankings. India boast four batters in the top 10 and five in the top 15. Shreyas Iyer, India's highest run-scorer in the Champions Trophy 2025, is ranked eighth, while wicket-keeper batter KL Rahul is ranked 15th. Following the India-England Test series, where Shubman Gill's men drew 2-2 away from home, several reports and rumours have emerged regarding the uncertainty of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli's cricket future. 38 and 36 years old respectively, Rohit and Kohli are now active in only one format - ODI cricket. However, with India not playing many ODIs in the remainder of 2025, rumours have begun regarding the future of the two stalwarts. Rohit announced after Champions Trophy 2025 that he does not intend to retire from ODI cricket, even sharing a moment with Kohli joking about it during the celebrations. However, despite having eyes on the 2027 Cricket World Cup, Rohit and Kohli's spots are reportedly not a guarantee in the ODI setup. In fact, as per reports in recent days, the veteran duo will also have to turn up in domestic cricket as a metric for form and fitness. On the other hand, whether Rohit will continue to be captain till the World Cup is also a topic of debate. With 25-year-old Shubman Gill impressing in England, Rohit isn't an automatic captaincy selection anymore. However, the ODI rankings continue to reflect both Rohit and Kohli's continued prowess in the 50-over format. Rohit and Kohli are next scheduled to be in action in October 2025, when India tour Australia for three ODIs.
