Pakistan fast bowlers Haris Rauf and Mohammad Wasim Jr. have dropped in the latest ICC Men’s ODI Player Rankings released on Wednesday, following Pakistan’s 3–0 series loss to New Zealand.
Rauf fell two places to 24th with 555 rating points, while Wasim Jr. slipped six spots to 71st with 423 points. Spinner Abrar Ahmed also dropped one place to 57th. Left-arm pacer Shaheen Shah Afridi, excluded from the squad after the Champions Trophy campaign, dropped one place to 12th.
In contrast, fast bowler Naseem Shah saw an improvement, climbing five places to 43rd in the bowling rankings with 494 points.
New Zealand’s stand-in captain Michael Bracewell made notable progress in the all-rounder rankings. His 85 runs in the series, including a vital half-century in the third ODI, along with two wickets, helped him move up two places to fifth in the ICC Men’s ODI All-Rounder Rankings.
Fast bowler Ben Sears emerged as the standout bowler of the series and was named Player of the Series after taking five wickets in the final match and a total of 10 across the series. His performance catapulted him 64 spots up the ODI Bowling Rankings.
