Slight drop in the number of voters but, yet again, those taking positions 4-6 in the previous round are through in this round - albeit only narrowly. It's surprising that players nominated in the last round, missed out on votes in this round. Interesting to see 3 current players featuring quite strongly which suggests they might fill positions higher than their 2022 rankings (36th, 38th & 39th).
30 - Weekes; 22 - Nourse; 20 - Mianded; 19 - Younis Khan; 16 - Kohli; 15 - Walcott; 13 - Williamson; 12 - Root; 3 - Gilchrist;
2 - Harvey, Aravinda de Silva; 1 - Worrell, Gooch.
Weekes moves up one spot on the 2022 rankings, Nourse climbs up 4 places while Miandad drops back 3 places.
