LAHORE – Pakistan’s left-arm pacer Shaheen Afridi has made gains while skipper Babar Azam faced a downfall in the latest rankings issued by the International Cricket Council on Wednesday.

In the Test batting rankings, Mohammad Rizwan climbed five places to 18th and Fawad Alam reached 20th spot.
In the ICC Men’s T20I Player Rankings, Babar Azam was dethroned by England’s Dawid Malan and South Africa’s Aiden Markram, who are first and second positions, respectively.
Babar Azam moved down to third place with 789 points following his unimpressive performance in the first two T20I matches against West Indies in Karachi.
