West Indies pacer Jayden Seales is another big mover, climbing 17 places to 19th after his stunning 6-18 took the hosts\u2019 to a series-clinching ODI series win over Pakistan. His team-mate, West Indies\u2019 off-spin bowling all-rounder Roston Chase (up seven places to 67th) and Pakistan leg-spinner Abrar Ahmed (up 18 places to joint-43rd) have also made notable gains.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
In the ODI Batting Rankings, West Indies captain Shai Hope rose two places to seventh after making an unbeaten 120 in the final ODI against Pakistan. South Africa\u2019s Aiden Markram (up four places to 21st) and Temba Bavuma (up five to 23rd) have also progressed, while Australia\u2019s stand-in skipper Mitchell Marsh has jumped six spots to 52nd place after making a superb 88.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
