In a surprising update, Pakistani cricket stars Babar Azam, Mohammad Rizwan, and Shaheen Afridi have seen a dip in their ICC T20I rankings. The latest rankings, released by the International Cricket Council, reflect their recent performances in the shortest format of the game.
Babar Azam, once a consistent figure in the top spots, has slid further down due to a series of underwhelming innings. Similarly, Mohammad Rizwan, renowned for his stability as an opener, has lost points after failing to maintain his usual high standards. Meanwhile, Shaheen Afridi, Pakistan’s pace spearhead, has also dropped in the bowlers’ rankings, raising concerns about his recent form in T20Is.
Cricket analysts believe the slump could be a result of Pakistan’s recent losses in T20I series and individual struggles to adapt to changing playing conditions. Fans, however, remain hopeful that the star trio will bounce back soon to reclaim their positions among the world’s best.
This decline highlights the competitive nature of international cricket rankings, where consistent performance is key to staying at the top.
