  • UAE star Amjad Javed is among the top five wicket-takers in T20 internationals this year.

    Javed, with 22 wickets at an average of 15.50, is joint fourth on the list which sees India’s Jasprit Bumrah at the top.

    Bumrah, in his first year as an international cricketer, starred for India at the ICC World T20 with his accurate death-over bowling. He picked up 28 wickets at an economy rate of less than seven despite bowling most of his overs at the back-end of an innings.

    18-year-old Rashid Khan of Afghanistan and India’s Ravichandran Ashwin are joint-second with 23 wickets each, while Bangladesh’s Al-Amin Hossain completes the top five with 22 wickets.

    Here, we look at the stats of the top five wicket-takers.
