West Indies' Shanel Daley has broken into the top five women's all-rounders' list in the Reliance ICC Women's ODI Rankings which were released at the conclusion of the three-match ODI series between West Indies and Sri Lanka women. The West Indies women won the series 2-1.

Daley, who entered in the series in eighth position, has jumped four places to fourth position after finishing as the leading run-getter with 150 runs which was backed up by six wickets at an average of 14 per wicket.

Her 150 runs, which included two half-centuries, gave her a jump of 14 places in the batters' table and has put her just outside the top 20 in 22nd position while her performance with the ball has given her a ranking of 11th (up by two places).

Other players to head in the right direction include West Indies batter and captain Merissa Aguilleira in 12th position (up by five places), and bowlers Anisa Mohammed in sixth spot (up by one place) and Shakera Selman in 17th position (up by four places).

Chamani Seneviratna inspired Sri Lanka to a one-wicket victory in the second ODI when she scored 36 and bagged 3-27. The right-hander finished the series in 54th batting (up by 12 places), 18th bowling (up by one place) and 21st all-rounders' spots (up by six places). 

West Indies batsman Shivnarine Chanderpaul has regained the number-one ranking in the Reliance ICC Player Rankings for Test batsmen after hitting two half-centuries in the Dominica Test which Australia won by 75 runs to claim the series 2-0. The series victory put Michael Clarke's side ahead of India in third position on the Reliance ICC Test Championship table.

Chanderpaul, who won the Sir Garfield Sobers Trophy for ICC Cricketer of the Year at the LG ICC Awards in Dubai in 2008, scored 68 and 69 which earned him 19 ratings points and helped him to leapfrog South Africa's duo of AB de Villiers and Jacques Kallis into the number-one position.

The 37-year-old Guyanese player had first topped the batting chart in July 2008 after Sri Lanka's Kumar Sangakkara had slipped from the top position after scoring 12 in his side's 600-6 against India in the first Test in Colombo.

After staying on top of the table for the following seven months, Chanderpaul briefly dropped to second position in February 2009 when he scored one and 55 against England in the second Test in Antigua. He, however, returned to the top spot three Tests later following scores of 147 not out and six in the fifth and last Test against England at Queen's Park in Trinidad.

Chanderpaul, three months later in May 2009, lost his number-one position to Pakistan's Younus Khan. He later slipped to as low as 15th in June 2010 before making a charge up the order to finally surge to the top of the table.

Chanderpaul will again arrive in England as the number-one ranked batsman, as he did in May 2009, and while England will be out to defend its number-one Test team tag against the West Indies, the diminutive left-hander will be aiming to protect his top spot as he leads de Villiers by just six ratings points.

Other batsmen to move up the chart are Australia's David Warner, Ed Cowan and Matthew Wade, and West Indies captain Darren Sammy.

Opener Warner has climbed two places to 43rd spot after scores of 50 and 11, Cowan has jumped six places to 60th position after scores of one and 55, Wade, who won the man of the match award in Dominica for his 106 and four, has vaulted 46 places to 69th spot while Sammy has moved up 10 places to 73rd position following scores of 10 and 61.

In the Reliance ICC Player Rankings for Test bowlers, West Indies' Kemar Roach has gained two more places and is now on a career-best 16th position after figures of one for 72 and three for 40. The 23-year-old Barbadian had entered the series in 37th position and has gained 21 places after finishing as the most successful bowler of the series with 19 wickets at just under 20 runs per wicket.

West Indies off-spinner Shane Shillingford, who had match figures of 10 for 219, has rocketed 21 places to 46th place while Australia captain Michael Clarke's second innings figures of 23-1-86-5 has given him a jump of 11 places and puts him in 75th spot, and Nathan Lyon's four for 69 and three for 87 has given him a career-best ranking of 36th.

The bowlers' table is headed by South Africa's Dale Steyn with Saeed Ajmal of Pakistan and England's James Anderson in second and third positions, respectively.

Meanwhile, in the Reliance ICC Test Championship table, Australia has moved ahead of India in third place.

Australia had entered the series against the West Indies on equal points with India but below Mahendra Singh Dhoni's side when ratings were calculated beyond the decimal point. However, the series win gave it one ratings point which was enough to put it ahead of India.

England leads the Test Championship table, followed by South Africa which is fraction of a point behind Andrew Strauss's side.

West Indies all-rounder Stafanie Taylor will be looking to cement her place at the top of the Reliance ICC Women's ODI Player Rankings for batters this week with the beginning of her side's three-match ODI series against Sri Lanka which starts in Barbados on Wednesday (25 April).

ICC Women's Cricketer of the Year 2011, Taylor, currently tops the batting table with a 63-rating points lead over India's Mithali Raj. Should Taylor perform well in the series in Barbados she could further secure her spot as not only the number one batter but also the number one all-rounder.

The 20-year-old Jamaica right-hander also tops the Reliance ICC Women's ODI Player Rankings for all-rounders with an 85-point lead over Australia's Lisa Sthalekar.

Taylor's team-mates Deandra Dottin (seventh), captain Merissa Aguilleira (17th) and Juliana Nero (20th) all have a good chance to bat their way up the batting rankings in the series against Sri Lanka.

Meanwhile, Sri Lanka's highest-ranked batter is Chamari Atapattu who will be keen to improve on her current ranking of 22nd.

The bowling rankings are currently topped by Sthalekar but spinners Taylor and her team-mate Anisa Mohammed are currently ranked sixth and seventh, and could potentially challenge and displace a number of the players ranked above them.

Outside of the top 10, Sri Lanka captain Dilani Manodara will be wanting good performances from two of her key bowlers, off-spinner Shashikala Siriwardena (15th) and medium-pacer Chamani Seneviratna (19th) to give the visitors a chance of victory against the in-form West Indies women.

Australia's Nathan Lyon has also made an impact in the latest rankings after climbing eight places to 38th position following his first innings performance of five for 68.

In the Reliance ICC Player Rankings for Test batsmen, Shivnarine Chanderpaul has swapped places with Australia captain Michael Clarke.

Chanderpaul, who scored 94 in the first innings, has moved up two places to third position while Clarke has dropped two places to fifth spot after scoring 45 and 15.

West Indies' Darren Bravo has broken into the top 20 for the first time in his career in 19th position while former Australia captain Ricky Ponting has dropped out of the top 20 and is in 21st spot.

AB de Villiers of South Africa is the number-one ranked batsman in the world, followed by team-mate Jacques Kallis.

In the Reliance ICC Player Rankings for Test all-rounders, Shane Watson has slipped one place to fifth position while West Indies captain Darren Sammy has moved up two places to 11th spot.

The list is headed by Bangladesh's Shakib Al Hasan with South Africa's Jacques Kallis in second spot.

Ben Hilfenhaus and Ryan Harris, who saw Australia home to a three wickets win against the West Indies with the bat in Bridgetown, Barbados, have achieved their highest-ever bowling ratings in the latest Reliance ICC Test Rankings.

Man of the Match Harris, who took three for 31 in the West Indies second innings, jumps five places to 16th in the rankings with his highest-ever ratings points of 614. Hilfenhaus, who not only took four for 27 in the West Indies second innings but also scored the match-winning run, climbs three places to eighth with 751 ratings points.

In the batting rankings Shivnarine Chanderpaul, who scored a first innings 103, has moved up three places to fifth while Darren Bravo, with 51 in the first innings and 32 in the second, has attained a career-best ratings points of 695 but remains 21st in the batting rankings.

South Africa’s AB de Villiers now stands alone as the number one ranked batsman after Australia’s captain Michael Clarke dropped two ranking spots to third and his predecessor, Ricky Ponting, also fell by three spots to 19th.
