June 11, 2025: England’s star leg-spinner Adil Rashid is now just one step away from the top of the ICC Men’s T20I Bowling Rankings. Following a stellar performance in England’s 3-0 series sweep against the West Indies, Rashid has climbed to the second position with 710 rating points—just behind New Zealand pacer Jacob Duffy, who leads with 723.
