ICC T20 ranks released

New Delhi, May 02: The Pakistan cricket team continues to hold the top position in the International Cricket Council (ICC) T20I rankings on Wednesday.

Pakistan leads with 130 points, followed by Australia with 126 points on the table, while India secures the third position in the rankings.

There were, in fact, no changes in the top seven positions, but the big development was down at No.8, where Afghanistan are the new entrants.

Sri Lanka, earlier ranked eighth, have slipped to ninth after losing four points following the update, which took the 2014-15 season out of the equation and weighted results from 2015-16 and 2016-17 at 50 per cent. While Sri Lanka lost ground, Afghanistan gained a point to move up.
