Taskin, Tanzid reach career-high ranking

Bangladesh may have suffered a heavy defeat in the opening game of the UAE One Day International tri-series, but Taskin Ahmed and Tanzid Hasan Tamim had reasons to celebrate after making significant gains in the latest ICC rankings.
Taskin made an early impact against Zimbabwe, claiming all three wickets to fall as the opposition slipped to 24 for three. His performance lifted the right-arm pacer nine places to 12th in the ODI bowling rankings, marking the highest position of his career.
Shoriful Islam also climbed two spots to 11th after picking up two wickets in the same match. Mehidy Hasan Miraz remains Bangladesh’s top-ranked bowler at ninth, while Mustafizur Rahman dropped two places to 36th. Leg-spinner Rishad Hossain fell six positions to 84th.
Tanzid, meanwhile, recorded his highest-ever rating in the ODI batting rankings, reaching 601 points. His 46 against Zimbabwe earned him a three-place rise to a joint 21st position. Towhid Hridoy slipped three places to 25th, while Najmul Hossain Shanto dropped six spots to share 37th place.
