On Tuesday, the West Indies skipper, Jason Holder reached the highest rating points by any Caribbean bowler in the last two decades, as he reached the second position in the ICC bowlers’ ranking after his team registering a memorable win over England at Southampton. Holder scalped seven wickets including a haul of six for 42 in the first innings and because of that he now has career-best 862 rating points, the best for any West Indies bowler since Courtney Walsh’s tally of 866 in August 2000.

Indian cricketers, who have been missing teh action since March due to the coronavirus pandemic, have retained their positions in the top-10 of batsmen and bowlers rankings. The Indian skipper, Virat Kohli is standing the second position in batsmen standings behind Steve Smith while Cheteshwar Pujara and Ajinkya Rahane maintaining their seventh and ninth positions respectively. Jasprit Bumrah is the only Indian bowler in the top-10 as he has maintained the seventh position.
