Bangladesh all-rounder Shakib dropped three points after two appearances in Bangladesh’s recently concluded five-match T20I series against Zimbabwe. Sri Lanka T20I skipper Hasaranga joined the veteran Bangladesh cricketer to share the top spot. While Afghanistan’s Mohammad Nabi held third place, just a further 10 rating points adrift. Zimbabwe’s Sikandar Raza gained two places and rose to the fourth spot after a few stupendous performances against Bangladesh, while South Africa’s Aiden Markram lost one spot and dropped to the fifth spot ahead of the Proteas’ campaign at the T20 World Cup.
