Babar and Rizwan Continue to Rule the ICC Rankings

In the ICC T20I batter rankings, Pakistan’s all-format captain Babar Azam and wicketkeeper Mohammad Rizwan have both kept their places. Batters Babar and Rizwan were the best since Pakistan’s series against Bangladesh came to an end in November last year.

He has also kept his place as the best ODI batter in the world. Babar’s heroics in 2021 led him to be named the ODI player of the year, and he has been at the top of the standings for yet another week.

He has also kept his ninth place in the Test rankings. During the three-match Test series against Australia, Babar will be working hard to improve his Test ranking. The Men in Green are just a few days away from facing Australia. Fakhar Zaman, a Pakistani opener who is known for his explosive runs, has also kept his ninth place in the ODI rankings.

It looks like these are the ICC rankings for batters now:
