The two most con­sis­tent play­ers for the West In­dies at the 2019 ICC World Cup in Eng­land, Nico­las Pooran and Shel­don Cot­trell have moved up in the ICC ODI rank­ings in the bat­ting and bowl­ing cat­e­gories re­spec­tive­ly.

Pooran who was out­side the 400 rank po­si­tion has end­ed the tour­na­ment as the 92nd ranked bats­man. The T&T left-han­der, who cracked two half-cen­turies (58 against Afghanistan) and his maid­en cen­tu­ry 118 against Sri Lan­ka on Ju­ly 1, fin­ished with 367 runs at an av­er­age of 52.42, to at the top of the heap, as far as runs scored among West In­dies play­ers.

An­oth­er West In­di­an in Shim­ron Het­my­er al­so moved up three places and is now 26th in the rank­ings. The Guyanese left-han­der scored the sec­ond-high­est num­ber of runs 257 at an av­er­age of 36.71 with two half-cen­turies (54 against New Zealand and 50 against Bangladesh).

Com­ing in­to the World Cup Cot­trell was ranked 82nd in the world in ODI bowl­ing. He is now at po­si­tion num­ber 40 at the end of the tour­na­ment. He fin­ished with 12 wick­ets at 32.66 with the best haul of 4/56 against New Zealand.

West In­dies as a team slipped one po­si­tion and is now ninth in the ICC ODI rat­ings af­ter their per­for­mance, which saw them win on­ly two match­es in the nine-match pre­lim­i­nar­ies. Their clash against South Africa end­ed in a draw.

Mean­while, In­dia cap­tain Vi­rat Kohli has re­tained the top po­si­tion among bats­men af­ter scor­ing five half-cen­turies so far.

Open­er Ro­hit Shar­ma has bridged the gap in the lat­est rank­ings af­ter get­ting five cen­turies so far.

Kohli’s 442 runs at an av­er­age of 63.14 have seen him gain one point and reach 891 points while Ro­hit has bridged the gap from 51 points to on­ly six af­ter be­com­ing the first bats­man to score five cen­turies in the World Cup. His 885 points go­ing in­to the se­mi-fi­nals are a ca­reer-high.

In­dia’s new-ball bowler Jasprit Bum­rah has ex­tend­ed his lead at the top from 21 points to 56 points af­ter grab­bing 17 wick­ets in the nine league match­es at the World Cup, with Boult re­main­ing in sec­ond place af­ter a mem­o­rable league phase that in­clud­ed a hat-trick against Aus­tralia, the first-ever in ODI crick­et at Lord’s.

Afghanistan spin­ners Mu­jeeb-ur-Rah­man and Rashid Khan re­main in the top-10 de­spite their team los­ing all match­es, while Aus­tralia’s Mitchell Starc and Mo­ham­mad Amir have im­proved de­spite not com­ing in­to the tour­na­ment with many im­pres­sive per­for­mances.
