ISLAMABAD, (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 31st Aug, 2017 ) : Azhar Ali is the only Pakistani player in the top 10 of the MRF Tyres ICC Test Player Rankings announced Thursday. Azhar stands on 7th position with 769 points with an average of 46.86.
Meanwhile, Kraigg Brathwaite and Shai Hope have attained career-best positions in the Rankings after performances in Leeds that helped the Windies complete a series-levelling win against England, said a press release issued here.
Opener Brathwaite has risen 14 slots to 16th position after his innings of 134 and 95 in the second Test of the three-match series while Hope's knocks of 147 and 118 not out, the first pair of centuries in any first-class game at Headingley, have helped him secure a massive gain of 60 places to reach 42nd position.
Windies captain Jason Holder has gained in both batting (up four places to 57th) and bowling (up two places to 37th) rankings while pace bowler Shannon Gabriel has gained two slots to reach 18th position after taking six wickets in the match.
For England, Ben Stokes's first-innings century has seen him move up two positions to 23rd place among batsmen while Chris Woakes has gained 10 slots to reach 74th position.
Australia opener David Warner has returned to the top 10 after a valiant century.
Warner's partnership of 130 for the third wicket with captain Steve Smith could not prevent Bangladesh from scoring its first ever Test win over Australia, but the left-hander had the satisfaction of moving up five slots to sixth position after scores of eight and 112.
For Bangladesh, opener Tamim Iqbal's two innings of 71 and 78 have lifted him six places to a career-best 14th position, while star all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan has moved up three slots to a career-best 14th position among bowlers after his match haul of 10 for 153 at Mirpur.
His fellow spinners Mehedi Hasan (up three places to 30th) and Taijul islam (up four places to 32nd) have also moved up after finishing the match with five and four wickets, respectively. Shakib has also consolidated his position at the top of the list of all-rounders with his highest aggregate of 489 points, having also scored 84 and five runs in his two innings.
