Bangladesh off-spinner Mehidy Hasan has become only the third bowler from his country to be ranked among the top two of the ICC Men’s ODI Player Rankings after a fine show in the first two matches of their ongoing series against Sri Lanka.

Mehidy has advanced three places to reach the second position after picking up seven wickets in two matches so far. 

Left-arm fast bowler Mustafizur Rehman is another one from Bangladesh to move up the list, his six wickets have lifted him eight places to ninth position. 

Mushfiqur Rahim, player of the match in both ODIs, has moved up four places to a career-best 14th position after scoring 84 and 125. 

Dhananjaya de Silva (up nine places to 83rd) and Lakshan Sandakan (up nine places to 94th) are among the other bowlers to gain in the latest weekly update. 

In the Scotland-Netherland ODI series, Scottish batsman Richard Berrington’s knock of 41 in the first match of the series played in Rotterdam has lifted him two places to joint-72nd while the Netherlands’ opener Max O’Dowd’s 102-ball 82 in the same match progressed him 11 places to 150th.

Scotland’s fast bowler Alasdair Evans has moved up 10 places to 89th after his five-wicket haul in the second match helped his team draw the series 1-1.
