Following a comprehensive 3-0 sweep of South Africa recently, the hard-hitting Pooran who was among the top batsmen in the South Africa series, jumped three places to 9th among the T20I batters with a rating of 660.
The other West Indian batsmen in the top 20 are Brandon King, who is tenth with a 643 rating, and Johnson Charles, who sits at 11th on 642 points alongside South African T20 captain Aiden Markram.
Left-arm spinner Hosein shot to the second spot while his fellow left-arm spin twin, Guyanese Motie, achieved a career-best 3rd place world rank, as the West Indies continue to rebuild their position as one of the more dominant teams in T20 Cricket.
Hosein has a rating of 680, only better by England’s Adil Rashid (718), while Motie’s career best placement was earned with a rating of 674. The only other bowler in the top 20 is Alzarri Joseph, who currently occupies 15th with a rating of 620.
