Shabana heads an unchanged top six, with Frenchman Gregory Gaultier in second place, ahead of England's James Willstrop at three; his fellow countryman Ramy Ashour at No.4; Australia's British Open champion David Palmer at five, and France's Thierry Lincou at No.6.
But Egyptian Karim Darwish moves up to seventh place, overtaking Nick Matthew, the Englishman who makes his 2008 Tour debut at this week's Forexx Dutch Open following shoulder surgery at the beginning of the year.
Malaysian Mohd Azlan Iskandar has cause for celebration after marking a career-high No.11 ranking in the new list whilst Wael El Hindi, winner of the Super Series Platinum event in his hometown of Cairo, rises three places to a career-high-equalling No.9.
