Dubai: West Indies captain Stafanie Taylor has reclaimed the No. 1 spot in batting as well as in the list of all-rounders in the ICC Women's ODI Player Rankings after a fine effort in the first ODI in Coolidge (West Indies) that helped the hosts win by five wickets against Pakistan.

Stafanie, who has been No.1 in all three lists in the past at different points in time, first attained number position among batters in March 2012 and the last time she was at the top was in November 2014. In the all-rounders' rankings, she was last number one in July 2017.

The latest weekly update, which includes performances in the first two ODIs of the West Indies-Pakistan series, also sees all-rounder Deandra Dottin re-enter the rankings in 28th position among batters and 47th among all-rounders. Kyshona Knight is up seven places to 53rd among batters while spinner Anisa Mohammed (up two places to 26th) and fast bowler Shamilia Connell (up four places to 39th) have moved up among bowlers.

Ayesha Zafar has re-entered the batting rankings in 83rd position after scores of 46 and four in the two matches and opener Muneeba Ali is up 47 places to 88th after scoring 36 and 37.

In the ICC Women's T20I Player Rankings, carried out after the first two matches of the ongoing England-India series, Natalie Sciver of England has progressed two places to ninth position among batters after a knock off 55 in the first match while India all-rounder Deepti Sharma is up two places to 37th.
