Pakistan has received a boost just months ahead of the ICC Champions Trophy, as Shaheen Afridi has regained the No. 1 spot in the latest ICC Men's ODI Bowler Rankings. This is a significant achievement for Pakistan during a strong week for the team's performances, with England and Sri Lanka's T20I players also making strides in their rankings.
Afridi reclaimed the top position thanks to outstanding performances during Pakistan's recent series against Australia, where he took eight wickets in three matches at an impressive average of 12.62. His rise saw him jump three places, overtaking South Africa's Keshav Maharaj, who fell to third, while Afghanistan's Rashid Khan remains in second.
