DHAKA, March 9, 2022 (BSS)- Bangladesh left-arm spinner Nasum Ahmed has made

his first appearance in the top 10 bowlers, thanks to his 'Player of the
Match' performance of 4-10 in the first match against Afghanistan in the
recently concluded two-match T20 series.

He is now in 10th position with 637 rating points in ICC T20 bowling
rankings, led by South African Tanraiz Shamsi, the ICC has said in a press
release here today.

Nasum, however, went wicket-less in the second T20 but even then his record
has been improved.

Bangladesh batter Liton Das also improved his rankings following a good
performance also in the two-match T20 series against Afghanistan.

Liton is the highest run-getter scoring 73 runs in two matches. Liton Das
starred in the first match with 60, which helped him to gain 26 places to
49th over the course of the series.

In T20I cricket, whilst the top 12 batters are unchanged, at joint 13th
position is Afghanistan's Hazratullah Zazai, who's unbeaten 59 in the second
match against Bangladesh at Mirpur ensured a shared series win. Pakistan
captain Babar Azam tops the list with 805 rating points.
