Latest ICC women's ODI player rankings: Australia spinner dethrones England star to reclaim top spot

Alana King reclaims the top spot in ODI bowling rankings

The Australia leg-spinner had lost her hold on the No.1 spot to Ecclestone on March 30, but just three days later, she claimed her third ODI five-wicket haul, helping her return to the top of the bowler’s rankings. King returned figures of 5-19 from her 10 overs during the third and last ODI of the series against the West Indies, which Australia won 3-0.

She picked up six wickets in the ODI series to finish as the second-highest wicket-taker behind Ashleigh Gardner. Ecclestone, meanwhile, hasn’t played ODI cricket since the 2025 World Cup semifinal against South Africa, where she picked up four wickets for 44 runs.

On the ODI batters’ charts, New Zealand’s Maddy Green jumped four spots to enter the top 10 at ninth following her exploits in the recent series against South Africa. She scored 239 runs, including a career-best 141* in the third match, to finish as the top run-scorer. Ellyse Perry rose two places to get to tenth. Amelia Kerr, meanwhile, jumped six spots after a record-breaking performance against South Africa, to be joint 14th.

Meanwhile, in the all-rounders’ list, Kerr took the fourth spot, replacing Marizanne Kapp, who dropped to fifth. King, meanwhile, rose a spot to get to seventh, while Nat Sciver-Brunt dropped to eighth.
