The latest ICC T20I batting rankings left Pakistan without the same batsman in the top 10 – a rare view for the team known for its explosive talent. Former captain Babar Azam has come to 12th position, while wicketkeeper-botter Mohammad Rizwan has come to 13th position, marking a significant slide for two players who were once fixtures in the top five.
Glimpse of progress between recession
While the top level rankings lack Pakistani representation, some growing stars have made remarkable progress. Mohammad Haris reached the 30th position after his strong performance against Bangladesh, while Hasan Nawaz and Sam Ayub finished 46th and 61st respectively. Team captain Salman Ali Aga also saw the movement, reached 76th position.

A wake-up call for Pakistan’s batting lineup
The ranking, based on recent performances, exposes a dip in continuity for major players of Pakistan. Babur and Rizwan’s decline is particularly striking, given their previous dominance. His return to peak form will be important not only for individual ranking but also for the success of the team in the upcoming fixtures.
Returning path
With important T20I matches on the horizon, Pakistan batsmen have a chance to reset and recover their positions among the world’s best. Fans and selectors will be looking closely, expecting a revival that restores Pakistan’s reputation as a powerhouse in T20 cricket.
