A pair of South African stars have made giant strides inside the top five on the latest set of ICC ODI Player Rankings. The ICC released the new rankings on Tuesday and stylish opener Laura Wolvaardt and experienced quick Ayabonga Khaka have been the big winners after dominant performances for the Proteas during their recent ODI series sweep over Ireland. Wolvaardt's superb innings of 89 in the third and final match in Dublin came just at the right time as it catapulted the right-hander past Australia skipper Meg Lanning and into fourth place on the latest rankings for batters.
Hull KR prop George King says he feels honoured to be given the opportunity to captain Ireland at the World Cup later this year.
South African-born leg-spinner Michael Rippon is the only newcomer in New Zealand's white-ball squads for their limited-overs series against Ireland, Scotland and the Netherlands next month.
Sanju Samson has got yet another opportunity to consolidate his place in the Indian cricket team. He is part of the Hardik Pandya-led India squad that will play two T20Is against Ireland later this month. With several other wicketkeeper-batters like Rishabh Pant, Ishan Kishan, and the veteran Dinesh Karthik playing well with far more consistency than the 27-year-old, it is going to be a daunting task for Samson to make it to the T20 World Cup squad. Samson has time and again impressed with his abilities only to falter with his consistency.

However, one name that was missing from the squad was Rahul Tewatia.
