Saud, Saim climb in ICC rankings
Saud Shakeel has moved up one spot to 12th in the Test batting rankings, now holding 739 rating points.
Saim Ayub, meanwhile, has broken into the rankings at joint-83rd alongside South Africa's Marco Jansen, with both having 352 points. Aamer Jamal also shares the same position.
Mohammad Rizwan and Babar Azam have retained their respective 21st and 23rd positions, while all-rounder Salman Ali Agha has dropped three places to 37th.
Test captain Shan Masood holds firm at 48th, with Abdullah Shafique climbing one spot to 51st with 520 points. Middle-order batter Kamran Ghulam remains at 76th.
Root regains top spot
Englishman takes back top spot in ICC Men's Test Batting Rankings from compatriot following triumph over India at the Home of Cricket.
England's Joe Root has reclaimed the top spot on the ICC Men's Test Batting rankings after his stellar efforts helped the hosts to a 22-run victory over India at Lord's.
Root (888 rating points) took back the number the No.1 spot off compatriot Harry Brook (862) thanks to scores of 104 and 40, as the hosts took a 2-1 lead in the five-match series.
It's Root's eighth stint in the top spot and at 34 he is the oldest batter at No.1 since a 37-year-old Kumar Sangakkara held the position in December 2014.
Australian Steve Smith (816) also enjoyed a one-spot bump in the top 10, thanks to a gritty effort in a low-scoring affair in Jamaica against the West Indies.
Smith made 48 in the tourists' victory, with teammate Cameron Green making a 16-spot jump to 29th (619) thanks to scores of 46 and 42.
Bowlers thrived under lights with the pink ball in the Carribean, with Scott Boland's six-wicket effort in the Test (and a hat-trick) leapfrogging him to a career-best sixth spot.
His 62 Test wickets have come at just 16.53 apiece, with only George Lohmann and Sydney Barnes, who played over 110 years ago, having taken more Test wickets at a better average.
Mitchell Starc's incredible effort meanwhile didn't lead to a rankings move (remaining in 10th), though the left-armer did make ground on the nine bowlers above him, moving to 766 rating points and just one shy of Marco Jansen in ninth.
It means Australia have five bowlers in the top 10 with Pat Cummins (third) and Josh Hazlewood (fourth) remaining in their positions following the dismantling of West Indies, and with Nathan Lyon moving down a spot to eighth after making way for Boland for the match.
It gives Australia a domination in the rankings not seen since England had six bowlers in the top 12 in 1958.
West Indies quicks also relished at Sabina Park, with Shamar Joseph (up 15 spots to 14th), Justin Greaves (up 15 spots to 65th) and Alzarri Joseph (up two spots to 29th) also making moves.
At Lord's, Washington Sundar (up 12 spots to 46th) was the the most notable mover in India's meeting with England.
Bowlers were also the movers in the latest T20I Player Rankings, with players across Sri Lanka and Bangladesh making noteworthy moves.
Sri Lanka's Nuwan Thushara and Bangladesh's Rishad Hossain now sit in 16th and 17th thanks to nine and 12-spot jumps respectively, with Binura Fernando entering the top 50 for the first time with a 22-spot jump.
Dasun Shanaka made an eight-spot move to 22nd in the T20I All-Rounders, with Zimbabwe's Sikandar Raza moving two spots to 6th thanks to a quick-fire 54 not out against South Africa.

Clutch Maxwell leads Australia to T20 series win over South Africa
CAIRNS: Glenn Maxwell took a brilliant catch before smashing a half-century under pressure to help Australia overcome a dogged South Africa by two wickets and seal the three-match Twenty20 series in Cairns on Saturday. In response to South Africa's 172-7, Australia were in trouble at 122-6 in the 14th over before Maxwell stepped up with an unbeaten 62 off 36 balls. There was a late twist when South Africa quick Corbin Bosch dismissed Ben Dwarshuis and Nathan Ellis with consecutive deliveries. But Maxwell crunched a boundary on the penultimate ball of the match before celebrating with gusto. Hot favourites Australia won the first match but were stunned by a 52-run defeat in game two before moving to Cairns in northern Queensland, which hosted its first T20 international. 'It was a little nerve-racking,' Maxwell said. 'I tried to stay on strike as much as I could and cash in on anything loose.' Australia captain Mitchell Marsh elected to field in helpful conditions for seam bowlers, a contrast to the batting-friendly surfaces used in the opening two games in Darwin. Veteran quick Josh Hazlewood rebounded from an errant performance in game two by dismissing captain Aiden Markram for one in the first over. Lhuan-dre Pretorius hit a quick-fire 24 before falling to Ellis, bringing to the crease Dewald Brevis who smashed a South African T20 record of 125 not out in game two. He crunched his sixth delivery onto the roof before a diving Maxwell dropped a tough one-handed chance at long-on. Brevis motored to his half-century off 22 balls. Maxwell, a brilliant fielder, redeemed himself in the 12th over with a superb diving catch in the outfield to halt Brevis' charge on 53. South Africa's innings ran out of steam and their total appeared well short when Marsh dominated a 66-run opening partnership with Travis Head. But South Africa hit back with the quick wickets of Head (19) and Josh Inglis for a first ball duck. Marsh made 54 before holing out to 19-year-old quick Kwena Maphaka, who later in the 11th over dismissed Cameron Green (nine). Australia's collapse of 6-56 was complete when in-form Tim David (17) and Aaron Hardie (one) were dismissed before Maxwell took over. The Australian players wore black armbands in honour of former captain and coach Bob Simpson, who died at the age of 89. The three-match One-Day International series between the teams starts in Cairns on Tuesday.

Former Australia captain and coach Simpson dies at 89
SYDNEY: Former Australia test captain Bob Simpson, who ushered in the country's modern-day golden era of cricket as its coach, has died aged 89, Cricket Australia said on Saturday. Simpson played 62 tests between 1957 and 1978, scoring 4,869 runs, including 10 hundreds, and claimed 71 wickets with his leg spin following his debut on a tour of South Africa. Simpson, one of the greatest slip fielders the game has ever seen, initially retired from the game in 1968 before returning as test captain at the age of 41 after several front-line Australian players had joined the World Series Cricket in 1977. 'Bob Simpson was one of the greats of Australian cricket, and this is a sad day for anyone fortunate to have watched him play or who benefited from his wisdom,' said Cricket Australia Chair Mike Baird. 'As a brilliant opening batter, incredible slips fielder and handy spin bowler, Bob was a mainstay of a very strong Australian team in the 1960s, and he became a leader across the game as Australian and New South Wales captain and as a coach.' 'Bob's decision to come out of retirement to successfully lead the Australian team during the advent of World Series Cricket in 1977 was a wonderful service to the game, and his coaching set the foundation for a golden generation for Australian cricket.' As coach, Simpson is credited with instilling discipline in an Australia side led by Allan Border, which went on to win the 1987 World Cup and regained both the Ashes and the Frank Worrell Trophy. Leg-spin great Shane Warne called Simpson the best coach he played under and someone who helped his development. Simpson also coached Lancashire and the Netherlands and worked as a consultant with the Indian team in the late 1990s. 'Bob Simpson's extraordinary service to Australian cricket spanned generations,' Prime Minister Anthony Albanese wrote on X. 'As a player, captain and then era-defining coach, he set the highest of standards for himself and the champions he led. He will be long remembered by the game he loved.'

Pak beat BD A in Top End T20 opener
Khawaja Nafay, Yasir Khan, and Abdul Samad shine in the opening match of the Top End T20 Series. PHOTO: PCB Pakistan Shaheens began their Top End T20 Series campaign in style, crushing Bangladesh 'A' by 79 runs in the tournament opener at the TIO Stadium on Thursday. Batting first, the Shaheens piled up a massive total of 227-4, led by blistering half-centuries from Khawaja Nafay, Yasir Khan, and Abdul Samad. Openers Nafay and Yasir set the tone early, launching a fierce assault on the Bangladesh bowling attack with a rapid 100-run stand. Nafay was eventually run out for a sparkling 61 off 31 balls, hitting eight fours and two sixes. Yasir followed soon after, making 62 off 40 balls with seven boundaries and two maximums. Abdul Samad then took charge, partnering with Mohammad Faiq to accelerate the scoring. Samad smashed four sixes in a single over from Saif Hassan, bringing up his half-century in style. He remained unbeaten on 56 off 27 balls, featuring one four and five sixes. Captain Irfan Khan chipped in with a quick 25 from 12 deliveries. For Bangladesh, Rakibul Hasan, Hasan Mahmud, and Mahfuzur Rahman took one wicket each. Chasing 228, Bangladesh 'A' never looked in control. Opener Mohammad Naim was bowled by pacer Ubaid Shah for just five runs. A brief fightback came through Jishan Alam (33 off 17 balls) and Saif Hassan (57 off 32 balls), who shared an 86-run partnership. But once Jishan fell, the Shaheens' bowlers took charge. Spinner Faisal Akram dismissed Afif Hossain for six before Mohammad Wasim Jr removed Saif Hassan and Mahidul Islam in the same over. Saad Masood then got rid of Mahfuzur Rahman, while Faisal struck again to dismiss Bangladesh skipper Nurul Hasan for 22. The visitors collapsed to 148 all out in 16.5 overs. Faisal Akram and Saad Masood finished with three wickets each, while Wasim Jr claimed two. The Irfan Khan-led Shaheens will next face the Scorchers on August 16, followed by the Renegades on August 18, before completing their group matches against the Kingsmen (Aug 19), Strikers (Aug 20), and Nepal (Aug 22). The semi-finals and final are scheduled for August 24. John Hastings questioned by anti-corruption unit over 18-ball over in WCL 2025 against Pakistan Former Australian fast bowler John Hastings has revealed that he was questioned by the anti-corruption unit after bowling a bizarre 18-ball over during the World Championship of Legends (WCL) 2025 match against Pakistan Champions. The incident took place in a league-stage fixture where Australia Champions, batting first, were bowled out for just 74 runs in 11.5 overs, thanks to Saeed Ajmal's six-wicket haul. Chasing 75, Pakistan Champions eased to victory without losing a wicket, reaching the target with 73 balls to spare. Hastings's unusual over added to Australia's woes - he sent down 12 wides and one no-ball, conceding 20 runs from just five legal deliveries. At one point, he bowled five consecutive wides twice in the same over. Speaking on the Willow Talk podcast, Hastings revealed that officials approached him the next day to discuss the performance. "The anti-corruption guys came up to me and said, 'Gee, you put us through a bit of hell last night.' He said we had to have a look at it. You missed the pitch on one of your balls. I said, 'Do you think I'll be doing any sort of match-fixing or anything like that?'" Hastings recalled. "He said, 'No, but we don't know where you've been or what you've been doing for the last seven years.' I said, 'I'm not corrupt,'" he added. Hastings admitted that the over was both embarrassing and difficult to explain. "The Pakistan game, it's hard to explain. I had so many text messages from all the cricket fraternity, but I also deleted social media for three days straightaway when I came off the field after the Pakistan game. I didn't want to deal with it. It's not funny, but it's one of those you can't explain when you're actually bowling. It was hard to take, it was embarrassing, and it was horrendous," he said. The former pacer added that he has since returned to social media. "I'm back on social media. So, the 1.5 million people who messaged me on Instagram, I'll reply to you when I can," he remarked.
