Linsey Smith Tops ICC T20I Bowling Rankings!

England's Linsey Smith is the new ICC Women's T20I No. 1 bowler. See how she and other stars rank ahead of the T20 World Cup.

England's Linsey Smith has achieved a career milestone, reaching the pinnacle of the ICC Women's T20I Bowling Rankings for the first time. The left-arm spinner's ascent to the world No. 1 spot follows exceptional performances against New Zealand and India.

Smith's journey has been remarkable, having debuted in 2018 and then becoming a consistent fixture in the T20I side in late 2024 after a significant break. A recent Player of the Series award against New Zealand and a strong showing in England's victory over India have propelled her to this new rating.

Other English bowlers are also making strides. Teammate Lauren Bell climbed to third, and acting captain Charlie Dean improved to fifth in the latest rankings. India's Shree Kumari jumped to fourth place, with the top ten bowlers closely ranked ahead of the T20 World Cup on June 12.

In batting, Australia's Georgia Voll retains her top position. India's Jemimah Rodrigues has moved up to a tie for 11th, while Ireland's Orla Prendergast jumped to equal 16th. Prendergast also advanced to sixth in the all-rounders rankings.
