Linsey Smith Crowned New No. 1 Bowler Ahead Of Women’s T20 WC
T20I Bowling Rankings: England’s left-arm spinner Linsey Smith, who was fighting for a regular place in her side’s T20I setup less than two years ago, has now climbed to the summit of the ICC Women’s T20I Bowling Rankings for the first time in her career on the eve of the Women’s T20 World Cup.
The 31-year-old England spinner moved ahead of Pakistan’s Sadia Iqbal to become the world’s top-ranked T20I bowler following a string of impressive performances against New Zealand and India. Smith’s rise comes after a standout Player of the Series display against the White Ferns and another influential outing in England’s recent victory over India in Bristol.
The achievement caps a remarkable journey for Smith, who made her international debut in 2018 before spending several years on the fringes of the national side. Having re-established herself as a regular member of England’s T20I squad only late last year, she now enters the World Cup as the highest-ranked bowler in the format.
