    Pakistan spinner Imad Wasim has moved to the top of the ICC T20I rankings for bowlers, with Imran Tahir dropping down to the third spot after the South Africa leg-spinner managed to take just one wicket from two matches in the series against England.

    India pacer Jasprit Bumrah is ranked second, with Afghanistan’s Rashid Khan and West Indies’ Samuel Badree making up the rest of the top five.

    When it comes to the batsmen, India captain Virat Kohli still leads the way.

    The Indian ace is followed by Australia’s Aaron Finch and New Zealand skipper Kane Williamson who are second and third respectively.

    There has been no change at the top of the all-rounders rankings, with Bangladesh’s Shakib Al Hasan still holding the number one spot.
