ICC Test Rankings Update: The ICC T20 World Cup is to be played from next month. Before this, the Indian team has suffered a big setback in the Test. Team India was till now the number one team in Test, but now it is not there. India has suffered loss in the annual rankings released by ICC. Meanwhile, there is news that the Australian team, the winner of the World Test Championship, has now reached the first place. This has been a big reversal.
Australia number one and Team India at second place
In the latest ICC Test rankings, World Test Championship winner Australia has overtaken India and secured the number 1 position in the team rankings. The ICC updated its annual team rankings on Friday and the Pat Cummins-captained team reached the top after a spectacular 209-run win over India in the World Test Championship decider at the Oval last year. If we look at the latest rating, it is known that at present Australia’s rating has become 124 and after this India is at second place, whose rating is 120. That means there is a difference of only 4 rating points between India and Australia.
There was no impact on the rest of the rankings.
This is the only big change in the entire Test ranking, the rest of the teams are where they were before, their health has not been affected in any way. England’s rating is 105 and it is at third position. South Africa is at fourth place with a rating of 103 and New Zealand is at number 5 with a rating of 96. The condition of Pakistan is very bad. At present the team’s rating is only 89 and they are in sixth place. Sri Lanka is at number 7 with a rating of 83, and West Indies is at number eight with a rating of 82. Bangladesh’s rating is 53.

There will be no change for about two months now
Meanwhile, the good thing is that even though Team India has lost the number one crown in Tests, the Indian team is still holding the number one position in the ratings of ODI and T20. Team India and any team from the rest of the world will not play any Test for the next two months, because the T20 World Cup is to be played in June. It is clear from this that there will be no change in the test ranking for the next two months. Tests will start again in July, only after that some changes can be seen again.
