Sri Lanka’s emerging middle-order batter Pavan Rathnayake has continued his rise in international cricket, reaching a career-best 16th position in the latest ICC ODI batting rankings.
Rathnayake, who was ranked 36th ahead of the final of the tri-nation ODI series in Pakistan, climbed 20 places following his impressive performance in the title decider, where he scored a valuable 77 runs.
With 616 rating points, the young Sri Lankan batter has now secured his highest-ever position in the ODI batting rankings, underlining his growing stature on the international stage.
Rathnayake was the leading run-scorer of the tri-nation tournament, accumulating 427 runs in five matches. His outstanding campaign included two centuries and two half-centuries, making him one of Sri Lanka’s most consistent performers throughout the competition.
