Pakistan all-rounder Mohammad Hafeez is now the top-ranked bowler in the ICC Player Rankings for ODI bowlers.

 

Hafeez replaced South African pacer Lonwabo Tsotsobe in the International Cricket Council (ICC) rankings, which were announced on Monday following the one-off ODI between Australia and Afghanistan.

 

Tsotsobe, who went wicket-less in the rain-affected ODI match against England, trails the Pakistani all-rounder by other two ratings in the bowlers’ table.

 

Both will be fighting over the top spot in the ICC’s bowlers’ rankings in coming weeks.

 

Hafeez has scalped 86 wickets in ODIs at an average of 32.77.
