The highlight was a career-best 166* off 139 balls in the second ODI, where Root rescued England from 133/5 in the 24th over while chasing 309, guiding them to a memorable win. Ben Duckett continued his strong run in ODIs, backing up his Champions Trophy 2025 form with two more half-centuries against West Indies, as a result jumping up three spots to 17th in the latest rankings update.

Babar, Rizwan tumble from ICC T20I top 10, Haris climbs into top 30
Listen to article In a significant reshuffle following Pakistan's recent T20I series against Bangladesh, former captains Babar Azam and Muhammad Rizwan have dropped out of the top 10 in the ICC Men's T20I Batting Rankings, while emerging batter Mohammad Haris has surged into the top 30 after a stellar performance. According to the latest rankings released by the International Cricket Council (ICC) on Wednesday, Babar has fallen three places to 12th, while Rizwan has slipped one spot to 13th. The two had held positions in the top 10 for several months and were Pakistan's most consistent performers in the format, but were dropped from the recent T20I series against Bangladesh following a dismal run of form. No Pakistani player currently features in the top 10 of the T20I batting rankings. Despite the slide in senior players' rankings, the spotlight has shifted to rising talent Mohammad Haris, who made a remarkable jump of 210 positions to reach 30th. His explosive unbeaten 107 off 46 balls in the third T20I against Bangladesh capped off a successful series in which he also scored 41 and 31 in the earlier matches. Haris finished as the series' leading run-scorer with 167 runs at an impressive strike rate of 201.12. Youngster Hasan Nawaz, who ended the series as the second-highest run-getter with 121 runs, also made significant gains, climbing 57 places to reach the 46th spot. Saim Ayub improved four spots to 61st, while skipper Salman Ali Agha advanced 42 positions to 76th. Australia's Travis Head now tops the T20I batting charts, followed by India's Abhishek Sharma and England's Phil Salt in second and third places, respectively. On the bowling front, pacer Abbas Afridi moved up 18 places to share the 19th spot with South Africa's Anrich Nortje and Pakistan's Haris Rauf. Afridi impressed with figures of 2 for 26 in the high-scoring third T20I. All-rounder Shadab Khan also saw improvement, climbing 10 places to 14th in the ICC Men's T20I All-rounder Rankings after contributing 55 runs and four wickets across the series.
