Left-handed middle-order batter Parvez Hossain Emon made the biggest jump among Bangladeshi batters. He climbed 21 places to reach 38th position after scoring 77 runs in the three matches. Towhid Hridoy, who batted in only two innings, also rose five places and now sits at 43rd, boosted by his career-best knock of 83 in the opening match, although it came in a losing cause.
