England's Moeen Ali led from the front on tour in the West Indies, and his form with ball and bat is reflected in the latest ICC Men's T20I Player Rankings.

Moeen shined despite the tourists losing the five-match series 3-2 in Barbados. Moeen made 108 runs at a strike rate of 146 throughout the middle to late-over stretches in England's batting innings, also taking five wickets across 13 overs, at an economy of 7.15.

He also showed off his ability to clear the rope, with seven staggering sixes in a blitz of 63 in the fourth match of the series.
