ICC released the latest Test rankings, Australia is number one in Test even after defeat in WTC Final
The International Cricket Council (ICC) has released the latest Test rankings after the World Test Championship (WTC) finals played at Lord’s. Despite losing the final to South Africa, Australia has finished first in the Test rankings. The team led by Pat Cummins faced a brilliant innings of Aiden Markram and the nine wickets of Kagiso Rabada faced a crushing defeat in the World Test Championship Final 2025.
However, the ranking updated after the WTC final has not harmed Australia and has dominated the first number. The Australian team remained at number one with 123 rating points. At the same time, South Africa has moved to second place in the ranking after its historic victory. He has 114 rating points in 22 matches played so far. He was successful in beating England in second place and now there is a difference of one point between these two teams.
Let us know that defeating the top ranked team leads the maximum points and Proteas were given three rating points to win in Lord’s. Protiaz’s Test team will return to the two -match series against Zimbabwe from June 28 later this month. Australia, topping the table, will also return to the West Indies tour for the three -match series starting on June 25.
India ranks fourth after a whitewash at the home ground against New Zealand, followed by a defeat to Australia in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy which ended early this year. With Shubman Gill’s new captain and senior veterans like Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma retired from Test cricket, the Indian team has gone on a new journey.
