Pakistan all-format captain Babar Azam has moved up to the third spot in the latest ICC T20I batters rankings.

Despite a poor show in the recently concluded T20 World Cup, where Pakistan suffered a heartbreaking defeat in the finals against England, the 28-year-old has gained enough points to move just above New Zealand’s Devon Conway.

He scored 53 runs in the semi-final against New Zealand.

India’s middle-order batter Suryakumar Yadav continues to dominate the top spot with 859 points.

Pakistan’s wicketkeeper-batter Mohammad Rizwan is at second position with 836 points to his name..

England opener Alex Hales also improved his rankings after playing a key role in his side’s triumphant campaign.

In the bowlers’ rankings, England pacer Sam Curran has moved up two spots to move to number five after registering Player of the Match performance of 3/12 in the final against Pakistan.

Meanwhile, Sri Lanka’s Wanindu Hasaranga, followed by Afghanistan’s Rashid Khan, retain the top two places.
