KINGSTON, Jamaica, CMC- One of the region’s leading women cricketers, Shanel Daley, has described her climb on the ICC Women’s one-day international all-rounder rankings as among her best accomplishments in the sport.
Daley, the former ICC Women Twenty20 number one rated bowler, was elevated to second position on the one-day all-rounder rankings, released by the sport’s governing body.
Her elevation to second, behind country woman and world leader Stafanie Taylor, came on the wave of her performances in the recent four-match one-day series against touring New Zealand.
“It’s right up there with when I topped the Twenty20 bowling rankings,” Daley was quoted by the Jamaica star as saying.
“It’s also the highest I have been ranked in the 50-over format, which means a lot, and makes me want to work even harder.”
The 25-year old Jamaican cricketer, who bowls left-arm spin and bats in the middle, claimed four wickets at an economy rate of 2.86 during the series.
Daley also made 46 runs including an innings of 29 not out at an average of 46.
“I am really looking forward to the upcoming tour of Australia, providing I am selected,” said Daley, a senior member of the West Indies Women team.
“I want to do well overseas, as one of my aims is to top all the rankings, if possible, or at least remain in the top five in the world for a long time.”
