England captain Harry Brook moved up five spots in the men's T20I batting rankings to attain a career-best fourth following his prolific form in the home series against Sri Lanka. Brook hit an unbeaten century in the first match of the series as he racked up 170 runs in the three-match series.
Brook's 67 in the first ODI against Sri Lanka also saw him move up to 12th in the ODI batting charts, and he could soon find himself as the only current batter in the top ten in all three formats, with him sitting atop the Test rankings.
Brook's England team-mate Jos Buttler was also in fine form against Sri Lanka, hitting two half-centuries and moving up two spots to fifth in the T20I rankings.
India's Ishan Kishan continues to lead the T20I batting rankings, with Abhishek Sharma and Sahibzada Farhan behind him.
Afghanistan allrounder Rashid Khan, meanwhile, lost his top spot in the T20I bowling rankings following figures of 1 for 43 in the third T20I against India, with Pakistan legspinner Abrar Ahmed topping the charts for the first time. England's Jamie Overton was one of the biggest movers in the bowling department, shooting up 47 spots to the sixth spot after picking five wickets and conceding just 58 runs from the three T20Is against Sri Lanka.
Zimbabwe's Sikandar Raza overtook Mehidy Hasan Miraz to go second in the ODI allrounder rankings following impressive returns in the home series against Australia. He made 57, 45 and 81 not out with the bat and picked three wickets across the three ODIs. He sits behind Afghanistan's Azmatullah Omarzai in the ratings.
