Varun Chakravarthy Stays At No. 3; Adil Rashid Up To 2nd In Latest T20I Rankings
England's Adil Rashid climbed to second in the ICC Men's T20I Bowling Rankings as Ben Duckett and Harry Brook also rose in the batting rankings.
Several players from England's white-ball team climbed the ICC Men's T20I Rankings after stellar performances against the West Indies, with veteran leg-spinner Adil Rashid leading the charge.
Rashid, 37, displayed remarkable consistency in England's 3-0 T20I series victory, returning figures of 1/22 at Chester-le-Street, 1/59 in a high-scoring encounter at Bristol, and a decisive 2/30 in the final match at Southampton.
These performances propelled him past both Sri Lanka's Wanindu Hasaranga and India's Varun Chakravarthy to second place in the T20I Bowling Rankings with a rating of 710, just 13 points behind New Zealand's Jacob Duffy, the current number one.
Rashid's ascent underscores England's dominant form, extending their winning momentum from the preceding ODI series against the same opponents. Pace bowler Brydon Carse also benefited, with his two wickets in the final two T20Is lifting him 16 places to 52nd in the rankings.
The series witnessed a flurry of runs, reflected in the batting rankings. Ben Duckett made a significant impact with a blistering 84 off 46 balls in the third T20I, elevating him 48 places to a career-best 16th. Harry Brook's rapid innings of 35* and 34 saw him rise six places to joint-38th.
The West Indies also had their share of success. Captain Shai Hope's two scores of 40-plus helped him climb 14 places to 15th in the batting rankings, while Rovman Powell's unbeaten 79 off 45 balls in the final game secured him a place in the top 20. All-rounder Jason Holder enjoyed a productive series, moving up 16 places to 26th in the All-Rounder Rankings thanks to his 70 runs and a crucial wicket.

Lionel Messi Spotted At Coldplay Concert, Chris Martin Calls Him 'No 1 Sportsperson'
Suspended for Inter Miami's bout against FC Cincinnati, Lionel Messi spent time with his wife at the Coldplay concert in the North American city. Football icon Lionel Messi was spotted at Coldplay's jumbotron alongside his better half in the North American city. Fans jumped and roared in excitement at the concert as a giant screen unveiled Messi's presence, while Coldplay's lead singer, Chris Martin, welcomed the world cup winner to the concert. 'Welcome to my beautiful brother," said Martin from the stage, looking at Messi, who was smiling as he waved acknowledging the loud reception. 'You and your wife are looking so fine. Thanks for coming today to see our band play. The No.1 sportsperson of all time," Martin said. Messi went to the Coldplay concert after attending Inter Miami's goalless draw against FC Cincinnati, for which the 38-year-old had been suspended amidst a breach of an All-Stars match regulation. Speculations had been rife about Messi's absence for the friendly encounter that featured 26 MLS players, including Hirving Lozano, Jordi Alba and Diego Rossi. Even as MLS authorities were desperate for Messi's appearance because of his incredible fame that would've attracted humongous viewership, he gave the game a skip. Because Messi took no part in the MLS All-Stars fixture, he was handed a one-match ban by the Major League Soccer authorities. Messi though was present in the stands on Saturday with Inter Miami co-owner Jorge Mas calling the punishment 'draconian". He also revealed the legend was 'extremely upset" over the sanction that sidelined him for an important match. 'To fill stadiums and sell tickets, nobody complains. It's strange, one day they say something, and the next day they say something else. We all heard what was said — that it was understandable the number of matches that he had been playing," said Miami's coach Javier Mascherano, reiterating that the ban was imposed despite the club informing MLS officials about the fatigue Messi dealt with amidst a congested schedule. view comments Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

After beating Dodgers, Red Sox turn attention to Minnesota
The Boston Red Sox will try to boost their playoff chances when they square off against the Minnesota Twins in the opener of a three-game series Monday night in Minneapolis. After beating Dodgers, Red Sox turn attention to Minnesota Boston is coming off back-to-back wins over the Los Angeles Dodgers during the weekend. The victories gave the Red Sox a 4-5 record during a grueling stretch after the All-Star break that included series against the Chicago Cubs, Philadelphia Phillies and the Dodgers. They enter Monday a half-game up on the Seattle Mariners and Texas Rangers for the second wild-card spot, and one back of the New York Yankees. Red Sox manager Alex Cora praised his players for how they handled the challenge. "The environment was great," Cora said after Sunday's home win over the Dodgers. "It was very similar to Philly in between pitches, very quiet, like everybody was expecting something big to happen. A big pitch, a big play, a big swing. That's what it's all about. "We've got a young team. We know that. For how big of a deal people were making Chicago and the Phillies and the Dodgers, it was a great learning experience for them regardless of the results," the manager continued. "Because of these nine games, they're going to be better. I don't think the stage is too big for them. But we made some mistakes. We didn't win too many games. We're going to keep learning." The next step in Boston's learning curve will take place against the Twins, who are reeling after dropping back-to-back home games to the Washington Nationals on Saturday and Sunday. The Twins are 3-6 since the All-Star break and are bracing themselves for the possibility that they will be sellers as Thursday's trade deadline approaches. Twins outfielder Harrison Bader, one of the players mentioned in trade rumors, said he and his teammates continue to give their best effort even if the results lag. Bader spoke after the Nationals beat the Twins 7-2 in the series finale. "We hit a lot of balls at some guys and it just didn't fall," Bader said. "It happens. I'm pleased with the process behind the scenes. Guys want it, and sometimes it just doesn't shake out the way you want." The Twins will try to find their groove at the plate against Red Sox rookie right-hander Richard Fitts , who is set to make his 10th start of the season. The 25-year-old Auburn product will try to bounce back from a bumpy outing in which he allowed four runs on six hits in 3 1/3 innings in a loss to the host Phillies on Tuesday. Fitts pitched five scoreless innings in his only other appearance against the Twins. He gave up five hits, walked one and struck out three but earned a no- decision on Sept. 20, 2024. Twins right-hander Simeon Woods Richardson is set to make his 16th start. He lasted only three innings in his most recent start, a 10-7 win over the Dodgers in which he allowed three runs on two hits and five walks and did not receive a decision. This will be Woods Richardson's first career start against the Red Sox. Twins All-Star center fielder Byron Buxton is unlikely to play in the series opener after the team announced Sunday that he has cartilage irritation on the left side of his rib cage. The diagnosis represented good news for the team, which will not put him on the injured list for now. Bader, filling in for Buxton, went 2-for-3 with a double and one run scored. "To be day-to-day with what left the game with , it's a good thing," Twins manager Rocco Baldelli said Sunday. "We'll measure him out, get him looked at by the trainers each day, get him a lot of treatment and, hopefully, he'll be back very soon."

Matchup of All-Stars, NLs top teams when Cubs, Brewers open series
It seems only appropriate that a three-game series between the teams with the two best records in the National League begins on Monday with a stellar pitching matchup. The Chicago Cubs will send All-Star left-hander Matthew Boyd (11-3, 2.20 ERA) to face the host Milwaukee Brewers, who will send All-Star right-handed rookie Jacob Misiorowski (4-1, 2.45) to the mound. The teams are tied atop of the NL Central with identical 62-43 records. Chicago took two of three from the Chicago White Sox over the weekend, while Milwaukee avoided a three-game sweep with a 3-2 win over the visiting Miami Marlins on Sunday. The Cubs have won three of the teams' first five meetings this season, including two of three in Milwaukee in early May. Chicago left fielder Ian Happ is looking forward to this week's return trip. "It'll be a great atmosphere," Happ said. "We're going up there just trying to play our game and good baseball. And I think there'll be a lot of noise around it. But we're just gonna play another series in July." Boyd will take the mound after tossing seven scoreless innings in a 6-0 victory over the Kansas City Royals last Tuesday. The 34-year-old Boyd enters Monday's contest with a career-best run of 23 consecutive scoreless innings, which is the longest active streak in the majors. "Somehow he's just gotten better in this stretch, and he's just overwhelming hitters," Cubs manager Craig Counsell said. "It's just quality pitch after quality pitch. I think anytime you get in a streak like this, that's what you're doing. There's no let up. No matter what's going on, it's a quality pitch. It just keeps coming at you. Milwaukee first baseman Andrew Vaughn is a career 1-for-8 against Boyd, who is 1-1 with a 9.95 ERA in 12 2/3 innings over three career starts versus the Brewers. Chicago third baseman Matt Shaw enters the game on a tear after struggling in the weeks before the All-Star break. Shaw extended his hitting streak to a career-high nine games on Sunday and is batting .444 (12-for-27) with two doubles, four home runs and 10 RBIs during that span. The rookie will look to continue the hot streak against Misiorowski, who is making his seventh career start. Misiorowski, 23, struck out seven over 3 2/3 scoreless innings against the Seattle Mariners last Tuesday. He was pulled after 64 pitches, and manager Pat Murphy said the team is monitoring his workload. "Obviously, I want to go six or seven (innings)," Misiorowski said. "But they're looking deeper, season-wise. I'm always going to be competitive and want to get as deep as I can, but it is what it is." Misiorowski is making his first appearance against the Cubs. He has 40 strikeouts in his first six starts covering 29 1/3 innings. "He's just broken the shell, man," Murphy said. "He's just out of the egg, all arms and legs. He's still got gooey stuff coming off him. He's something special." While the Brewers' starting rotation is overflowing with talented options, the team's offense has also risen to the occasion. Center fielder Jackson Chourio, 21, extended his hitting streak to 20 games on Sunday, becoming the 13th major leaguer 21 years or younger since 1901 to have a 20-plus game hit streak. The franchise record is Paul Molitor's 39-game hitting streak in 1987.
