Imad Wasim, Pakistan's spinning all-rounder, tops the new International Cricket Council (ICC) Twenty20 internationals rankings for bowlers, knocking South African spinner Imran Tahir off the top spot.

According to the rankings released by the ICC on June 25, Wasim is the only Pakistani to feature among the top 20 bowlers in the ICC T20I rankings.

Wasim is followed by India's Jasprit Bumrah and South African Imran Tahir in the rankings.

None of the Pakistani batsmen have been able to make it to the Top 20 ICC T20I rankings for batsmen topped by Indian captain Virat Kohli.

In the all-rounder rankings, Bangladesh's Shakib Al Hasan is number one while Mohammad Hafeez and Shoaib Malik are placed at numbers 11 and 15 respectively.

According to the newly-updated rankings, New Zealand are the top T20I side while England now sit alone at number two as Pakistan slip to third place.

Great for Pakistan and Imad.He has been preforming consistently well for the last year or so in this format.we all know that he is not a big spinner of the ball but he bowels with great control and late drift,which makes him hard to hit

T20 is a different ball game altogether. Big 5 are not so dominant in T20, good to see SL, WI and Pak performing so well.

congratulations to Imad! Pakistan has not SLIPPED to 3rd position. She has rather taken big jump from 8 to 3rd position.

@Harmony-1© Previously both England and Pakistan were at number two. They had same points, now Pakistan is two points behind England.
