    "editor1": "<p>July 30 (CRICKETNMORE) - Pakistan opener Fakhar Zaman has vaulted into the top-20 for the first time in his career in the&nbsp;ICC ODI Player Rankings.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The rankings were released on Sunday following the conclusion of the West Indies-Bangladesh series and also incorporate player performances from the Zimbabwe-Pakistan series.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Fakhar scored 515 runs in the series and has gained a total of 22 places to move into 16th&nbsp;position. When the player rankings were last updated on 17 July following England versus India series, and the three ODIs between Zimbabwe and Pakistan, Fakhar was 24th&nbsp;but his knocks of 210 not out in the fourth ODI and 85 in the final ODI helped him to gain eight more places.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Fakhar is now the second Pakistan batsman to feature in the top-20 after Babar Zaman reclaimed the second spot after finishing the series with 184 runs. Babar now leads England&rsquo;s Joe Root by seven points, while the list is headed by India&rsquo;s Virat Kohli.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Fakhar&rsquo;s opening partner Imam-ul-Haq has also made a massive impact in the latest player rankings.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Imam had gained 70 places after the first three ODIs, and moved up another 51 spots to finish the Zimbabwe tour in the 43rdposition. In the five ODIs, the 22-year-old has gained 121 positions, thanks to his series aggregate of 395 runs that also included three centuries.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<div style=\"page-break-after:always\"><span style=\"display:none\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/div>\r\n\r\n<p><img alt=\"Tamim Iqbal\" src=\"https:\/\/img.cricketnmore.com\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Tamim-Iqbal3-lg.jpg\" style=\"height:450px; width:750px\" \/><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Bangladesh&rsquo;s old war horses, Tamim Iqbal, Shakib Al Hasan and Mahmudulla, have been rewarded for steering their side to a 2-1 series victory over the West Indies.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Tamim scored centuries in winning causes to finish with 287 runs and this is reflected in the latest player rankings in which the left-handed opener has jumped four places to a career-high 13th&nbsp;position. His previous best ranking was 15th.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Shakib, who finished with 190 runs in the series with two half-centuries, has jumped three places to 26th, while Mahmudullah is in the 38th&nbsp;position after moving up four places.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<div style=\"page-break-after:always\"><span style=\"display:none\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/div>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>ICC ODI Player Rankings (as on 29 July, after the conclusion of the West Indies v Bangladesh series):&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong><img alt=\"kohli\" src=\"https:\/\/img.cricketnmore.com\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Kohli1.jpg\" style=\"height:454px;
