Mohammad Nabi Replaces Shakib Al Hasan As No.1 ODI All-rounder In ICC Rankings
Bangladesh Shakib Al Hasan: Afghanistan's Mohammad Nabi on Wednesday jumped a place to supersede Bangladesh Shakib Al Hasan as the No.1 ranked all-rounder in the latest ICC rankings.
Bangladesh's cricketing maestro Shakib Al Hasan held the position of No.1 all-rounder for five years. He hasn’t played for Bangladesh since the 2023 World Cup due to an eye condition, also not able to participate in Bangladesh's white-ball series against Sri Lanka.
It was a gripping showdown in Pallekele as Afghanistan faced Sri Lanka in the opening ODI. Despite early setbacks, Nabi's spectacular innings of 136 at No. 7, accompanied by Azmatullah Omarzai gritty unbeaten 149, provided a glimmer of hope in an uphill chase of 382 runs. Though falling short by 42 runs, Nabi's heroics not only salvaged Afghanistan's innings but also propelled him to the summit of the all-rounder rankings.
