Bangladesh opener Tanzid Hasan broke into the top 20 of the ICC ranking of T20I batting according to the latest update published on Wednesday. 

The left-hander has jumped 20 places to be in 17th in the list headed by the Indian opener Abhishek Sharma. 


Tanzid scored two fifties, including his career-best 89 runs, against the West Indies in the recently concluded three-match series where Bangladesh suffered a clean sweep. 

Despite the team’s dismal performance, off-spinner Mahedi Hasan also leaped six places to be in 17th position. 

Pacer Tanzim Hasan also improved three places to reach the 34th position. 

Left-arm pacer Mustafizur Rahman is the top-ranked T20I bowler from Bangladesh, as he currently sits at 12. However, he lost one place after the recent series. 

West Indies’ Shai Hope reached a career-best 12th position among batters, following up his knock of 46 not out in the first T20I against Bangladesh with a 55 this past week.
