No 1-ranked T20i batsman hopes to build on strong first 16 caps‘The higher your ranking, the more you are looked to’Dawid Malan may be No 1 in the global Twenty20 batting rankings but he insists this lofty position comes with no guarantees – not least as regards his place in the
England team for their forthcoming series against
South Africa.

After 16 caps the left-hander’s numbers are certainly impressive. An average of 48.7 and a strike-rate of 146 both jump off the page, so too his seven half-centuries and the unbeaten 103 he blitzed against
New Zealand in Napier 12 months ago.
