His consistent performances have kept him ahead of global competitors in the all-rounders' category.

Mohammad Nawaz jumps in all-rounder, bowler rankings

Mohammad Nawaz recorded dual improvements: He climbed three places to secure 4th position among T20 all-rounders, and also rose two spots to reach 11th position in the T20 bowlers’ rankings.

His impressive form has made him one of Pakistan’s most versatile performers in white-ball cricket.

Abrar Ahmed surges to 4th in T20 bowlers; 9th in ODI bowlers

Leg-spinner Abrar Ahmed made one of the biggest moves this week: He jumped four places to take 4th place in the T20I bowlers’ rankings. In the ODI bowlers’ rankings, Abrar continues to hold 9th position, maintaining his global reputation as a top-tier spinner.

Rashid Khan remains No. 1 in ODI bowlers.

Sahibzada Farhan slips

In the T20I batting rankings, Sahibzada Farhan moved down two positions, now sitting at 6th place. Despite the drop, he remains one of Pakistan’s highest-ranked T20 batsmen.

Shaheen Afridi maintains his 18th position in the batting rankings.

ODI rankings: Babar Azam steady at No 6

In ODIs, Babar Azam has retained his 6th spot among batsmen. The top positions are held by India's Rohit Sharma (1st) and Virat Kohli (4th).
