LAHORE – Former Pakistani captain Sana Mir has moved into the top five in International Cricket Council’s ODI bowlers rankings, released on Monday.
The right-arm spinner secured the fourth place with 620 points to her name, surpassing renowned names from Indian, South African and West Indian fellows.

Sana played 108 ODIs for Pakistan since making her debut in 2005. She also became the first female cricketer from the country to play 100 ODIs during the ICC Women’s World Cup in June-July 2017.
The 32-years-old cricketer was replaced by Bismah Maroof as the new ODI captain following a dismal team performance in the mega tournament.
However, the team made a surprising comeback in the recently concluded series against Sri Lanka where the Green Shirts clean swept the hosts by 3-0 in ODI series, followed by a 2-1 victory in T20Is, with Mir playing a central role in the victories.
