T20I Rankings: Afghanistan spinner’s ranking increased before T20 World Cup: Afghanistan’s star all-rounder right-arm spinner, Rashid Khan trumpeted his return to form by re-entering the top 10 of the ICC Men’s T20I Bowler Rankings ahead of this year’s ICC Men’s T20 World Cup.

Rashid moved up four places to ninth in the ICC rankings updated on Wednesday after his Player of the Series exploits helped Afghanistan seal a 2-1 series win over Ireland recently.

In the 25-year-old’s first series since suffering a back injury during last year’s ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup, the Afghanistan player took eight wickets in three matches at an average of 5.62, the highest in the series.

Rashid, who achieved the No. 1 ranking among T20I bowlers for the first time in early 2018 and has consistently topped the list until recently, has recently fallen out of the top 10.

Will be eager to maintain his position. Prime location in preparation for the T20 World Cup in the United States and the Caribbean during June.
