England captain keeps selection doors open ahead of T20 World Cup
The English summer begins with the 50-over Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy on Saturday, giving domestic players the chance to play themselves into the plans for the T20 World Cup squad.
Responding to a Tweet by American rapper Kanye West, the International Cricket Council (ICC) on Tuesday (14th August) jokingly, for a brief period, ranked all the Test batsmen as number one.

Earlier, Kanye West had written on the micro-blogging site, Twitter that ‘no one is better than anyone’. Though later International Cricket Body changed the rankings back to normal, ICC’s Tweet has created quite a buzz on the micro-blogging site.

It’s just light hearted banter. Or would you like to stay in the delusion that you are somehow superior to potential American fans?

Earlier, Indian skipper Virat Kohli had attained the number one spot in ICC ranking by dethroning former Australian skipper Steven Smith after he slammed 149 and 51 in the series opener against England. However, later Steve Smith regained the number one rank after the Indian captain scored 23 and 17 in the second Test against England at the Lord’s.
