Overview
- The ICC updated its women's T20I bowling rankings on Tuesday, June 23, placing 21-year-old Shree Charani at number one with a career-best rating of 753.
- Charani reached that rating by taking 10 wickets in three World Cup games, including a four-wicket haul against the Netherlands and three wickets in a June 21 loss to South Africa.
- Her rise follows a rapid international ascent since debuting a little over 12 months ago; she now has 38 T20I wickets in 23 matches overall.
- The rankings move reshuffled England's spin trio: Charlie Dean rose to second, Linsey Smith dropped to third, and Sophie Ecclestone moved up to fourth.
- Because the ICC updates ratings during the tournament, Charani's top spot could change again as more World Cup performances alter players' rating points and positions.
