Pakistan has no batters in the top 10 of the latest ICC T20I rankings released on Wednesday. Former captain Babar Azam has dropped to the 12th position, while star wicketkeeper-batter Mohammad Rizwan has slipped to 13th. Both players were once regulars in the top five but have seen a decline in form over recent months.
Despite the absence of Pakistani players in the top 10, a few names have shown improvement. Mohammad Haris climbed to 30th after a strong series against Bangladesh. Young batter Hasan Nawaz moved up to the 46th spot, while Saim Ayub now stands at 61st. Team captain Salman Ali Agha has reached the 76th position.
The rankings reflect individual performance and consistency in recent international matches. While Pakistan has a history of producing top-tier T20 talent, the latest update highlights a gap that current players need to fill.
The decline in positions for Babar and Rizwan, two of Pakistan’s most dependable batters, signals the need for a stronger comeback. Their return to top form will be essential not just for improving rankings but also for boosting team performance in upcoming matches.
With important T20I games ahead, Pakistan’s batting lineup has the opportunity to regroup and climb back up the global rankings. Fans and selectors alike will be hoping for a turnaround that puts Pakistani batters back among the world’s best.
