Right-arm Bangladeshi all-rounder Mehidy Hasan Miraz has jumped into the top five of the ICC Test all-rounder rankings, his highest career ranking to date.
His strong performances with both bat and ball in recent series against Pakistan and India propelled him up the rankings.
Against Pakistan in Pakistan, Mehidy took a five-for and hit a half-century that played big role behind Bangladesh’s back-to-back win over Pakistan.
Before the India series, Mehidy was ranked seventh. He has now climbed two spots to secure a place among the top five all-rounders.
While Mehidy thrived, Shakib Al Hasan dropped out of the top 50 batters for the first time in 14 years.
The left-handed batter struggled in both the Pakistan and India series, impacting his batting ranking. Despite this, he retained his position among the top-five Test all-rounders.
Ravindra Jadeja currently holds the number one all-rounder spot in Tests, while Jasprit Bumrah leads the bowling rankings in the same format. England's Joe Root tops the batting rankings.
