Rashid Roars to No. 2 in ICC T20I Rankings After West Indies Whitewash

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.

Rashid’s consistency was key throughout the series:

• 1/22 in Chester-le-Street
• 1/59 in a high-scoring clash in Bristol
• 2/30 in Southampton

The 36-year-old passed Sri Lanka’s Wanindu Hasaranga and India’s Varun Chakaravarthy to reach the No. 2 spot, reaffirming his dominance in the format.
