England’s wicketkeeper-batter Amy Jones continued her ascent in the latest ICC Women’s Rankings update.
Jones, who rose three spots to seventh in the ICC Women’s ODI Batting Rankings after a sensational hundred in the opening ODI of the three-game series against West Indies, continued her upward rise on the back of another hundred in the series.
Her 129 from 98 in the second ODI against the Maroon Warriors helped her enter the top five places in the Women’s ODI Batting Rankings. She now sits in the fourth spot with 689 Rating Points to her name. Laura Wolvaardt, Smriti Mandhana, and Nat Sciver-Brunt continue to occupy the top three spots.

Courtesy of Jones’ brilliance, England had an unbeaten run in the ODI series that followed the T20Is against West Indies, which they had won 3-0 as well.
The experienced Kate Cross was another protagonist in England’s win, and finished with three scalps in the series, including an economical 1/15 in the final ODI. She gains a spot to sit in eighth place in the ICC Women’s ODI Bowling Rankings.
With the upcoming India tour, Jones and Cross along with other England players have an opportunity to further improve their positions in the Women’s Rankings.
