Pakistan becomes number #1 in ICC test ranking

Pakistan is now moved to the top in test ranking which is the first time for the Green Shirts after ranking system updated in 2003. It is a great achievement for Pakistan which has come after many calculation. They were in number third when they started their journey to England and there they played four test matches and shown amazing performances. The series was drawn by 2 – 2 games which will help them to move to the 2nd position along with Australia was defeated by Sri Lanka which was actually whitewashed and so team Australia has lost the top position and India claimed it and Pakistan became second.

It happened just couple of days ago when team India moved to the top but they failed to hold it for long time. Yesterday, ICC revealed a update test ranking where Pakistan has jumped to the top and India has demoted to the second position. Indian team lost their top position because they have failed to win their last test against West Indies due where the match was abandoned due to rain. Though, India won the test series by 2 – 0 but also lost their top status.

On the other hand, team Pakistan has reached the top position in Test for the first time since the ICC ranking was renewed in 2003. And also most of the credit goes to their current test skipper Misbah ul Haq where he led this team to victory in England.
