ICC Rankings: England's Liam Livingstone becomes top-ranked T20I all-rounder
Liam Livingstone, the star England batter, has risen to the top of the T20I All-Rounder rankings.

Livingstone was named Player of the Series after demonstrating outstanding skills with both bat and ball. His new rating stands at a career-best 253, following a seven-spot leap to claim this prestigious position.
Livingstone's remarkable performance in England-Australia series
Livingstone's performance in the second of the two T20Is was particularly noteworthy, where he scored 87 runs off just 47 balls and took two wickets for 16 runs in three overs.
