Suryakumar Yadav jumped a place to reach a career-best-equalling second position in the latest ICC men's T20I Player rankings issued on Wednesday. Suryakumar now has 801 rating points after smashing a match-winning 69 off 36 deliveries in the third match against Australia in Hyderabad on Sunday that helped India clinch the series 2-1. He had reached the second spot in T20 rankings for the first time in August this year following his exploits against the West Indies.
India's star batter Suryakumar Yadav shot up two places in the ICC men's T20I rankings for batters and is now second on the charts, only behind Pakistan's Mohammad Rizwan. Suryakumar's recent blitz of 69 off 35 deliveries in the third T20I against Australia meant he moved above Pakistan captain Babar Azam and South Africa's Aiden Markram in the rankings. Earlier, Suryakumar had pipped Babar to go third in the rankings after his 25-ball 46 in the first T20I against Australia, but Babar went above him again after hitting a stunning century in the second T20I against England.
Pakistan captain Babar Azam is one of the best batters in the world right now, while Naseem Shah is one of the most exciting young pacers going around. So what happened when the two squared off in the nets? Naturally, it was a fiery affair as the two sparred during a training session amid Pakistan's seven-match T20I series against England. In a video shared by the Pakistan Cricket Board, Shah is seen bowling at Babar. The contest turned out to be a rather even one, with Babar just about edging out the youngster.
Former Pakistan batter Younis Khan has urged the country's apex cricket board to back the players who are selected for the T20 World Cup 2022 that takes place in Australia in October-November.

However, the deadline set by ICC for the squad announcement is October 9. If the teams have to make changes after the deadline, it has to be sanctioned by ICC.
