England captain Harry Brook has reached a new milestone in his T20I career. His impressive performances against Sri Lanka have lifted him to fourth place in the latest ICC Men’s T20I Batting Rankings, marking his career-best position in the format.
The latest ICC rankings update also brings a major change in the bowling charts, with Pakistan’s Abrar Ahmed replacing Afghanistan’s Rashid Khan at the top.
Harry Brook Reaches Career-Best Fourth Position
Brook’s rise follows a productive home series against Sri Lanka, where the England skipper delivered a series-winning performance with the bat.
He scored 170 runs during the series and was named Player of the Series. His contribution included an unbeaten 114 in the opening match at Southampton.
The strong run of form helped Brook climb five places in the latest T20I batting rankings, taking him to fourth position for the first time in his career.
Brook’s latest achievement adds to his standing in international cricket. He is also the top-ranked batter in the ICC Test rankings and has now moved closer to the top three in T20Is.
Abrar Ahmed Replaces Rashid Khan at No. 1
The latest ICC T20I bowling rankings have also seen a change at the summit.
Pakistan spinner Abrar Ahmed has taken the No. 1 spot, replacing Afghanistan’s Rashid Khan. Rashid’s position at the top has come to an end following a disappointing final outing against India.
