A sensational turnaround for Bangladesh in the Test arena saw their performers rise in the ICC rankings. Mominul Haque, the most impressive Bangladesh batsman in the series, moved up 14 places to a career high 19th position after racking up scores of 48 and 131 not out in the third Test against Zimbabwe while his teammate, opening batsman Tamim Iqbal, climbed three places to 34th thanks to his knocks of 109 and 65 in the same match.
In the ICC rankings for Test bowlers, Shakib al Hasan remains Bangladesh’s highest ranked bowler in 16th position. However, leg-spinner Jubair Hossain is the biggest mover in the rankings with a staggering 55-place jump to 58th place after claiming combined match figures of seven wickets for 152 runs in the third Test in Chittagong.
Shakib remains the No 1 player in the ICC Test all-rounder rankings after scores of 71 and 17 in the third Test while he also chipped in with a wicket to extend his lead over India’s Ravichandran Ashwin to 41 points.
