Pakistan’s left-arm pacer Shaheen, on the other hand, also made a prominent surge in the ICC ODI Bowling Rankings and has claimed the seventh spot after moving eight places up.
In the Test Bowling rankings, however, the left-arm pacer has moved one place up to accommodate the fourth rank with South Africa’s Kagiso Rabada.
It is pertinent to mention here that Pakistan skipper Babar Azam remained the top-ranked batter in the ODIs and T20Is.
