For Bangladesh, Tanzid Hasan led the way with the highest runs against Pakistan in the T20I series, climbing up the rankings. Parvez Hossain, who scored a fifty in the final match, also reached his career-best position, while Zaker Ali improved his ranking as well.
The ICC released its weekly update of the men’s player rankings on Wednesday. Among T20I batsmen, openers Tanzid and Parvez made significant progress, each rising 28 spots.
Though Tanzid couldn’t score a fifty in any of the three T20I matches in Pakistan, he consistently got good starts, scoring 31, 33, and 42 runs respectively.
Despite Bangladesh being whitewashed in the series, Tanzid’s total 106 runs made him the top scorer for his team, placing him at 53rd in the rankings.
Parvez, Tanzid’s opening partner, had a slow start with 4 and 8 runs in the first two matches. But he bounced back with a strong 66 off 34 balls in the final game. This effort pushed him into the top 100 T20I batsmen, now ranked 95th.
Zaker Ali, who scored 51 runs in the series, moved up 3 places to 68th. Among Bangladesh’s T20I batsmen, Towhid Hridoy leads the way, ranked 41st despite dropping 7 spots.
Meanwhile, Pakistan’s Mohammad Haris made a massive leap with consistent performances. After scoring a century and 179 runs in the series, he climbed 210 spots to reach a career-best 30th place.
Hasan Nawaz also improved significantly, jumping 57 places after a fifty and scoring 121 runs. Saif Ayub moved up 4 spots to 61st after scoring 45 in the last match. Pakistan captain Salman Ali Agha climbed 42 places to jointly hold 75th place.
Travis Head remains the top-ranked T20I batsman, while New Zealand’s Jacob Duffy continues to lead the bowlers’ rankings.

India’s Hardik Pandya remains the top-ranked T20I all-rounder.
The rankings also factored in the recent England and West Indies ODI series. England’s Joe Root scored a series-high 266 runs and jumped 14 spots to 24th. His teammates Ben Duckett and Harry Brook also moved up 3 and 15 places respectively.
West Indies’ Kacey Carty climbed 4 spots to a career-best 12th in the ODI batsmen rankings. India’s Shubman Gill remains the number one batsman in this format, while Sri Lanka’s Maheesh Theekshana leads the bowlers.
