Bangladesh’s Mushfiqur Rahim goes up five places in the ICC rankings after the latest ranking updates were carried out.

“It was… I think,” said Tamim Iqbal as he took a moment before continuing: “Five to six years back, we had a discussion about our future targets and we set our own goals, which was to grab the number five position in the ICC ODI rankings.”

Ninth-ranked Bangladesh faces South Africa, the number one ranked side in the ICC Test Team Rankings, in the first game of a two-Test series which starts in Chittagong on Tuesday July 21.
