Pakistan former captain Babar Azam has also improved, rising from 19th to 18th place.

In bowling, Pakistan Noman Ali entered the ICC top 10, moving up eight spots to reach ninth.

Shaheen Shah Afridi, however, slipped from 14th to 15th place. South Africa Kagiso Rabada is now the top-ranked Test bowler, with India’s Jasprit Bumrah in third.
