There is no change in the top three on the all-rounders' table which is led by Shakib Al Hasan of Bangladesh. Pakistan's ICC Champions Trophy-winning side's member Imad Wasim now sits atop the T20 bowlers rankings, which was updated after England defeated South Africa 2-1 in T20 series on June 25. Imran Tahir slipped two places after managing only a wicket in two matches.

However, AB de Villiers and Jason Roy are the biggest movers following the just-concluded series.
De Villiers, who was the leading run-getter in the series with 146 runs, has found himself in the 20th position after rising 12 places, while Roy's series aggregate of 103 runs has helped him achieve a career-high 25th position after jumping 26 places.
By contrast, South Africa has dropped one point to join Australia on 110 points. However, the team is ranked ahead of Australia by a fraction of a point, and occupies the sixth position.
