Shakib Al Hasan could not spread light with the bat and ball in the ODI World Cup for the national team. It also affected the ICC ODI ranking. After almost 5 years, Shakib lost the throne of ICC ODI all-rounders. Afghan all-rounder Mohammad Nabi has overtaken him.

Shakib has not played for the national team since the last World Cup. On the contrary, a few days ago, Nabi did a great job with the bat and ball in the first ODI of the series against Sri Lanka. Besides taking 1 wicket in the second match, he played an innings of 136 runs. And that’s why this Afghan star has surpassed Shakib.

In the current ranking, Nabi is at the top with 314 points. Shakib is 4 points behind him at number two with 310 points. Sikandar Raja of Zimbabwe is number three in the list. He has 288 rating points next to his name.

However, Nabi set a record by beating Shakib. He sits at the top as the oldest (39 years 1 month) all-rounder. Tillakaratne Dilshan of Sri Lanka reached the top at the age of 38 years and eight months in June 2015.

It can be assumed that Shakib is no longer rising to the top in this ranking. Because Sri Lanka will visit Bangladesh to play a full series after a few days. Shakib has removed his name from this series. As a result, the best star of Bangladesh is not returning to the top immediately.

It should be noted that in this format, Shakib sat at the top of the all-rounder ranking on May 7, 2019, replacing Rashid Khan. Since then 1739 days and about five years have passed. Bangladesh’s star all-rounder was at the top of the all-rounder ranking for the longest time.
