Star spinner makes sharp rise in the latest ICC Men’s Rankings

Sri Lanka Cricket

Hat-trick hero Maheesh Theekshana is the big mover in the fresh ICC Men’s One-Day Rankings. Here are the key talking points.
Twenty-four-year-old sensation Maheesh Theekshana has moved into the top three of the ICC Men’s One-Day Rankings for the first time.

The right-arm off-spinner claimed a combined seven wickets in back-to-back ODIs for Sri Lanka in New Zealand, the only recent 50-over cricket on the Men’s international calendar this week.

Theekshana’s haul included a hat-trick in Hamilton, claiming figures of 4/44 in the first ODI. His efforts in New Zealand were a clear bright spot as Sri Lanka came up short in the series, going down 2-1 to the hosts.

Theekshana (663 ratings points) now enjoys a career-high Rankings tally in the ICC’s latest rankings, only six points behind front-runner Rashid Khan (669) and two behind India’s Kuldeep Yadav (665), the world’s current top two.
