Jason Roy advances in Men’s ODI Player Rankings

England opener Jason Roy has made notable progress in the ICC Men’s ODI Player Rankings after a fine century in the first match of their ongoing three-match ICC Cricket World Cup Super League series which South Africa lead 2-0.

Roy’s 91-ball 113 has helped him advance three places to 15^th position in the list even as South Africa batter Rassie van der Dussen has strengthened his second position after also having scored a century in the first match. Van der Dussen has gained 29 rating points to reach a total of 795 points, 45 more than compatriot Quinton de Kock but a good 92 less than top-ranked Babar Azam’s 887.

Other batters to improve their rankings after the first two matches of the series in South Africa include Jos Buttler (up three places to 26^th) of England and David Miller (up one place to 19^th) and second match centurion Temba Bavuma (up 27 places to 49^th) of South Africa.

In the bowling rankings, Jofra Archer has re-entered at 35^th position. South Africa’s Kagiso Rabada is up one place to 13^th and fast bowler Andre Nortje has advanced 13 places to 48^th after grabbing six wickets in the two matches.

In the  ICC Men’s T20I Player Rankings updated after the first two matches of the ongoing India-New Zealand series, Suryakumar Yadav retains his No. 1 position among batters without any change in rating points after scoring 73 runs in two matches including a match-winning 26 not out in a low-scoring match at Lucknow that levelled the series 1-1.

Washington Sundar has galloped to 104^th position while New Zealand’s Finn Allen (up eight places to 19^th) and Daryl Mitchell (up nine places to 29^th) have also gained in the latest weekly update.

In the T20I bowling rankings, New Zealand spinner Mitchell Santner is in the top 10 while Michael Bracewell has moved from 58^th to 37^th position. India spinners Yuzvendra Chahal (up six places to 34^th) and Kuldeep Yadav (up 54 places to 81^st) are others to move up the rankings.
