Although Bangladesh won the ODI series against the West Indies, they suffered a whitewash in the T20 series. After such a disappointing performance on home soil, it was expected that the Tigers would fall down in the rankings. However, there has been a notable improvement for some players, particularly in the T20 rankings.
The highest run-scorer in the T20 series against the West Indies was opener Tanzid Tamim. His impressive performance, scoring 165 runs at an average of 55 in the three-match T20 series, has seen him climb an impressive 20 places in the ICC T20I batting rankings. This leap has brought him up to a career-best 17th position with a rating of 636. This is currently the highest rank ever achieved by a Bangladeshi batsman in T20I cricket.
Despite this progress, no other Bangladeshi batsmen have made significant gains. Players like Saif Hassan (dropped 9 places to 29th), Tawhid Hridoy (dropped 3 places to 46th), Parvez Hossain Emon (dropped 4 places to 58th), and Zakir Ali (dropped 2 places to 64th) have all moved down the rankings following disappointing performances in the T20 series.
In the T20I bowling rankings, Mehedi Hasan Sheikh has made a 6-place improvement, rising to 18th, while Tanzeem Hasan Sakib has advanced 3 places to 34th. However, Mustafizur Rahman (dropped 1 place to 12th, the highest-ranked Bangladeshi bowler), Rishad Hossain (dropped 2 places to 26th), Nasum Ahmed (dropped 1 place to 30th), Taskin Ahmed (dropped 5 places to 40th), Shariful Islam (dropped 5 places to 50th), and Hasan Mahmud (dropped 7 places to 76th) have all slipped in the rankings.
Meanwhile, in the ODI batting rankings, Tawhid Hridoy has advanced 3 places to 32nd, and Najmul Hossain Shanto has moved up 1 place to 41st. However, Soumya Sarkar, Mehedi Hasan Miraz, Zakir Ali, and Liton Das have all dropped places. Both Soumya and Miraz have fallen 3 places, while Zakir and Liton have dropped 1 place each.
In the ODI bowling rankings, Miraz has slipped 1 place to 18th, Taskin has dropped 2 places to 42nd, and Mustafizur has fallen 1 place to 61st. Tanzeem Sakib has improved by 1 place, moving up to 76th.
