Pakistan all-rounder Mohammad Hafeez has replaced South Africa paceman Lonwabo Tsotsobe as the number-one ranked bowler in the Reliance ICC Player Rankings for ODI bowlers, which were released on Monday after a one-off ODI between Australia and Afghanistan. Hafeez and Tsotsobe swapped places on the bowlers’ table after the first match in the England-South Africa ODI series at Cardiff on 24 August, which was abandoned due to rain. Tsotsobe ended with figures of 2.3-0-18-0 in the rain-affected game, and he now trails Hafeez by just two ratings points in the bowlers’ table. Hafeez and Tsotobe will, however, get a fair opportunity to either retain or reclaim the number-one spot in the coming weeks.
