England's James Tredwell and Sri Lanka's Sachithra Senanayake, recently reported for illegal action, are the biggest gainers in the bowler's rankings. While Tredwell jumped 18 places to a career best 12th spot with 627 points, Senanayake moved 20 places up, from 33rd to 13th, with 623 rating points.

Ravindra Jadeja, the only Indian in the top-10, slipped a spot and is placed 5th in the rankings with 676 rating points.
