LONDON—West Indies opener Kraigg Brathwaite has broken into the top 20 of the ICC batting rankings, after rising one place in the latest release yesterday.
The right-hander is coming off an average two-match series against Zimbabwe earlier this month where he scored 121 runs from three innings at an average of 40.
He endured a difficult home series against Pakistan with just 101 runs from six innings but has made steady progression up the rankings since then, especially following the three-Test tour of England where he averaged 47.
Brathwaite, 24, has emerged as the Windies batting leader in recent years and averages 36 from 42 Tests.
