England's Adil Rashid rises to number two spot in T20I bowling rankings
England spinner veteran Adil Rashid is just one step away from the ICC Men's T20I Bowling Rankings summit, having climbed to the second spot in the rankings issued on Wednesday.
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.

Pat Cummins Breaks Record Of Best Bowling Figures In Tests By A Captain At Lord's
Last Updated: Cummins dismissed six South African batters for 28 runs in his quota of 18.1 overs in the first innings. Pat Cummins picked up 6 wickets for 28 runs in 18.1 overs for Australia on Thursday (June 12) in South Africa's first innings of the WTC 2025 final currently underway at Lord's. The figures of 6 for 28 helped the 32-year-old fast bowler break the record of best bowling figures in Tests by a captain at Lord's. Before Cummins, only one captain—Bob Willis of England—ever managed to take a six-wicket haul in Tests at Lord's. During the second innings of the India-England Test played at Lord's from June 10 to 15, 1982, Willis dismissed six Indian batters for 101 runs in 28 overs of the second innings. Best bowling figures in Tests at Lord's (by captains) 6/28 by Pat Cummins (Australia) vs South Africa in 2025 6/101 by Bob Willis (England) vs India in 1982 5/35 by Gubby Allen (England) vs India in 1936 5/42 by Gubby Allen (England) vs India in 1936 5/69 by Daniel Vettori (New Zealand) vs England in 2008 Cummins opened his wicket account in the WTC 2025 final by dismissing Wiaan Mulder (6) on Wednesday and then got rid of Temba Bavuma (36) in the morning session of the second day's play. In the second session, he dismissed Kyle Verreynne (13) and Marco Jansen (0) in one over and then picked up David Bedingham's (45) wicket on the second ball of the 56th over of South Africa's innings. Bedingham top-scored for South Africa, but before he could complete his fifty, he was caught by Alex Carey behind the wickets. Cummins, who now holds the record for taking the most wickets in WTC finals as well as ICC finals, wrapped up South Africa's innings by getting Kagiso Rabada (1) caught out by Beau Webster on the first ball of the 58th over. The wicket of Rabada was Cummins' 300th wicket in Test cricket for the Baggy Greens. He is the eighth Aussie to dismiss 300 or more batters in the five-day format of the game. Cummins' super show with the ball helped Aussies bowl South Africa out for 138 runs in the first innings and take a crucial lead of 74 runs. For Australia, apart from Cummins, Mitchell Starc picked up two wickets, and one South African batter was sent back to the pavilion by Josh Hazlewood, whereas Keshav Maharaj got run out in an attempt to take two runs.
