Afghanistan make history, climb to 6th in ICC ODI Rankings

The Afghanistan national cricket squad has achieved a milestone by reaching the sixth position in the latest global fifty-over standings published by the ICC. This upward movement follows a sequence of strong performances, which includes a four-nil away series sweep against Ireland alongside an undefeated run during a multi-nation tournament featuring Bangladesh and Zimbabwe.

By securing this spot, the squad has moved ahead of Sri Lanka in the official ladder. India currently holds the top position in the standings, followed by New Zealand, South Africa, Pakistan, and Australia respectively.

Since entering the fifty-over international arena in fifteen years ago, the team has accumulated ninety-six victories out of one hundred ninety-one fixtures, resulting in a positive win-loss metric of one point zero nine. Their trajectory also features notable wins against established squads during the most recent global championship tournament.
