ICC Test Rankings: Brook rises to fourth place, Rizwan breaks into top 10

Harry Brook of England has climbed up three spots to secure the fourth position in the ICC Test rankings for batters. This progression came after his impressive performances, scoring 56 and 32, which assisted England in securing a 1-0 lead against Sri Lanka at Old Trafford. Joe Root continues to dominate the top position among Test batters, with Kane Williamson and Daryl Mitchell following closely behind.

Brook overtook Babar Azam, Steven Smith and Rohit Sharma, with Babar dropping six places to ninth following a golden duck and 22 in Pakistan's first ever Test loss to Bangladesh, in Rawalpindi. Mohammad Rizwan, one of the few bright spots for Pakistan in that Test with scores of 171 not out and 51, went up seven spots to be ranked joint 10th with Usman Khawaja. Saud Shakeel, the other Pakistan centurion from that game, gained one place to reach 13th.

Bangladesh's hero from their historic Test win, Mushfiqur Rahim, achieved a career-high rating following his 191 to gain seven spots and move to 17th.
