Bangladesh have moved up one place to seventh in the Reliance ICC ODI Team Rankings following its series win against India in Mirpur yesterday, says the world cricket apex body.
The 2-1 series has put Bangladesh on 93 ratings points – five behind sixth-ranked England and five ahead of eighth-ranked West Indies.
With England, plus seven next highest-ranked sides as on Sept 30, 2015 to qualify for the ICC Champions Trophy 2017, Bangladesh now look set to qualify ahead of the West Indies, which has no FTP ODI series planned until the cut-off date, and 8th-ranked Pakistan, which plays Sri Lanka in a 5-ODI series next month.
Mashrafe’s men had entered the series in eighth position on 88 points, fraction of a point behind the West Indies. In contrast, the 2-1 defeat means India has dropped from 117 to 115 but has still retained second position on the ODI table.
