Dubai, Nov 13 (UNI) Pakistan have received a boost just months out from the start of next year's ICC Champions Trophy with news that pace spearhead Shaheen Afridi has re-claimed the No.1 ranking on the latest ICC Men's ODI Bowler Rankings.
Afridi regains his place as the top bowler in 50-over cricket on the back of some excellent displays during Pakistan's recent series triumph over Australia when he took eight wickets across three matches at an average of 12.62.
It saw Afridi move up three places and take the premier position from South Africa spinner Keshav Maharaj (down two spots to third), while Afghanistan spinner Rashid Khan remains in second.
