Simultaneously, Afghanistan's Mujeeb ur Rahman also made it to the list of T20I bowling elites.

After being announced as the 10th best T20I bowler, Ashraf took to social media and engaged in friendly banter with teammate Shadab Khan.

Ashraf tagged Shadab and said: "My brother, beware! I'm coming after you. I'm in form, my friend, and I'm bowling very fast these days."

Shadab tweeted back, saying: "No worries, brother! My 'googly' is also landing in the right areas :) I have my eyes on the number 1 spot. You're still far away, my brother, you have a lot of work to do!"
