Ace Pakistan pacer Shaheen Shah Afridi has claimed the top spot in the latest ICC ODI bowling ranking following his exceptional performance in the ongoing ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup.
The 23-year-old is in red-hot form in the ongoing tournament and is currently the joint highest wicket-taker alongside Australia spin wizard Adam Zampa. The duo have picked up a total of 16 wickets so far in the competition.
Shaheen was instrumental for the Babar Azam-led side during the side’s remarkable win over Bangladesh in Kolkata on October 31. The star speedster finished with excellent figures of 3/23 in which the 1992 champions won by seven wickets.
