According to the latest update on the ICC’s official website, Mehidy Hasan Miraz rose one spot to claim the No. 2 position among Test all-rounders, reaching a career-high rating of 327 points. His surge follows a match-winning display in Bangladesh’s 1-0 series win, where he scored 116 runs and picked up 15 wickets across two Tests.
Mehidy Hasan Miraz Makes Gains Across All Format
Mehidy’s all-round exploits didn’t just boost his standing among all-rounders. His batting ranking also saw a notable jump, climbing eight places to 55th after notching his second Test hundred. On the bowling front, he moved up two spots to 24th overall.
Other Bangladesh players also benefited from the successful series. Left-arm spinner Taijul Islam and off-spinner Nayeem Hasan made upward moves in the bowling charts. Opener Shadman Islam gained in the batting rankings as well after steady contributions with the bat.
Sean Williams also moved up in the Test batting list after scoring consistently, while debutant spinner Vincent Masekesa impressed in his maiden Test appearance, earning his first ICC ranking just outside the top 100 bowlers.
