Tanzid enters into top 20 in ICC T20 rankings

DHAKA, Nov 5, 2025 (BSS)-Bangladesh opener Tanzid Hasan Tamim got the reward 
for his consistent performance in the T20 format despite his side suffering a 
whitewash against the West Indies of late.

The opener hit consecutive half-centuries -a 48 ball-61 in the second match 
and a career-best 62 ball-89 in the third game-which helped him leapfrog 20 
spots to reach 17th position amongst the batters in the latest ICC rankings, 
released today. In the process, he achieved his career-best 636 rating 
points. 

While Tanzid showed a remarkable progress, the other batters cut a forlorn 
figure. Saif Hassan slipped nine places to 29th, while Liton Das remained 
steady at 44th. Parvez Hossain Emon and Jaker Ali Anik also dropped slightly 
in the rankings, led by India's Abhishek Sharma.

Bangladesh offspinner Mahedi Hasan climbed six places to seat at 18th, and 
Tanzim Hasan Sakib rose three spots to 34th. 

But pacer Mustafizur Rahman dropped to 12th, Rishad Hossain to 26th, and 
Taskin Ahmed to 40th.
