Updated ICC Test Batting Rankings on 11th September | Indian and Sri Lankan players rise in the rankingsUpdated ICC Test Batting Rankings on 11th September | Indian and Sri Lankan players rise in the rankings

Cricket’s governing body, the International Cricket Council (ICC) recently revealed the updated ICC Men’s Test player rankings on the 11th of September, 2024. 

The updated rankings see England’s hard hitting batter Harry Brook slip down by seven positions, while India’s three batters have risen in the rankings by one-spot each. 

Joe Root, the premier batter of the Three Lions, continues to reign supreme at the top of ICC’s Test batting rankings despite scoring just 13 and 12 runs in the third test match at the Oval against Sri Lanka, though his rating points have seen a decrease from 922 to 899, which provides an opportunity to New Zealand skipper Kane Williamson and Aussie batter Steve Smith to close down the gap between themselves and Root.

Similarly, another English batter, Harry Brook, has dropped in the batting rankings by seven spots to the 12th position after managing to score just 19 and three-runs in the third test against the Sri Lankans.

Ollie Pope’s inning of 154 runs has helped him make a jump of seven places to joint 27th spot along with Angelo Mathews while young sensation Jamie Smith moved by six places to the 30th rank after scoring a quick fifty in the second inning.

However, England batters were not the only ones who made gains in the rankings. Six batters of Sri-Lanka have made massive gains in ICC’s recently updated Test batting rankings thanks to their historic eight-wicket victory over England in the third & final Test-Match at the Oval.

The Island Nation secured their first away test victory in more-than-a-decade in the third-test match against the Three Lions, with captain Dhananjaya-de-Silva, opener Pathum Nissanka and middle order batter Kamindu Mendis starring with the bat.

Skipper De Silva was the top scorer for his side having played a crucial knock of 69 runs in the first inning, which allowed him to achieve his Test career’s best ranking batting wise, as he jumped from 16th to the 13th rank.

Pathum Nissanka and Kamindu Mendis on the other hand, also achieved their Test career’s highest ranks, with the left handed batter rising by six spots to the 19th place thanks to his fifty against England while Nissanka’s fantastic knocks of 64 and 127* runs helped him to make a huge jump of 42 places to the 39th place.

Talking about the Indian players, despite not playing a test match since March of this year, the trio of Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and Yashasvi Jaiswal have seen improvisations in their test rankings.

The Indian captain has moved to the fifth position, while his opening partner Yashasvi Jaiswal is now sitting at the sixth place of ICC’s Test batting-rankings. Kohli, on the other hand, has occupied the seventh position.

IND vs BAN: 3 Key Player battles to watch out for in the First Test between India and BangladeshIND vs BAN: 3 Key Player battles to watch out for in the First Test between India and Bangladesh

IND vs BAN: India will begin their hectic test schedule with the encounter against Bangladesh on the 19th of this month at Chennai. This will be the initiation of India’s red ball era before the WTC.

Playing against Bangladesh, India has picked a few players from the Duleep Trophy which was earlier mentioned as a mandate tournament to feature in for being brought into India’s team for the longest format.

They have included the services of players like KL Rahul and Rishabh Pant who will make their test return after a long wait. Also, the likes of Akash Deep and Dayal are brought in as Indian pacers.

Bangladesh on the other hand are a very confident side as they have recently had their win over Pakistan on their home soil, for the first-ever series sweep against the nation.

Let’s take a look at the Player battles from Bangladesh’s tour of India – First Test.

3. Rohit Sharma vs Mehidy Hasan Miraz

The Indian skipper has been their highest run-getter in WTC history and is the form of his life during the probable end phase of his career at 37.

He has been a terrific striker and often takes on the pacers with his aggressiveness and furious stance, however, Rohit though he is India’s current best aid against spin has often got out to the quirky wizards.

Miraz was the Most Valuable Player for Bangladesh as he turned the player of the series for his all-round performance with both bat and ball. Miraz took wickets whenever his skipper needed him to.

2. Yashasvi Jaiswal vs Hasan Mahmud

Another Indian opener in the list, Jaiswal is India’s current highest run-getter across formats in 2024. The 22-year-old batter is also known for his capability to give it back at the red-ball bowlers.

Hasan Mahmud has emerged as Bangladesh’s star with the new ball and in the absence of Shoriful he is also their best pacer in charge, as his five-fer changed the course of the game in the Pakistan second innings in the 2nd Rawalpindi test.

Mahmud would be the skipper, Shanto’s Talisman against the ace young batter.

The two most experienced players from both the dugouts take on each other at Chennai. With this ground being Ashwin’s home ground he will be having the upper hand.

The way Rahim batted against Pakistan to score a stunning heroic 191 was what will boost his confidence. He is also one of the first players of spin, hence for these two, it will not only be a battle between two cricket legends but also a rare feat to two brilliant minds of the game.

ENG vs AUS: England will begin their summer in the shortest format of the game, as they take on Australia who are on their European tour, as they first played the 3-match T20I series against Scotland. 

Though the first game seemed to be a mockery, the following games saw the hosts give tough competition. However, Inglis scored a T20I ton, Australia’s fastest of just 43 balls while Cam Green emerged as a top priority all rounder for the Men from the Kangaroo islands. 

The first T20I marked the debut of several new players, yet let’s line at the 3 biggest Player battles from either sides: 

Phil Salt vs Josh Hazelwood

Phil SaltPhil Salt
ENG vs AUS: Phil Salt (Source: Cricket365)

The English stand-in skipper has been their best batter for England and he is to emerge as the top batter in absence of their skipper Buttler. The opening batsman will play a very vital role in the powerplay, and to resist this brutal force of England batting they comprise experienced pacer Hazelwood. 

Hazelwood’s acute line and length often makes him tough for a batter like Salt to show aggression on.  

Travis Head vs Jofra Archer

Australia’s best T20I batter and the top ranked ICC T20I batter, Travis Head has produced many special innings. His exceptional batting against Scotland where he broke numerous records is what has sent a message to the English bowlers. 

England ace pacer Jofra Archer will be the obvious quick who can help get rid of the aggressive batter. Archers seam position is what has been the weakest limb for Head.

Cameron Green vs Adil Rashid

Eng vs Aus: Cameron Green (Source: TOI)

Green has emerged as Australia’s best all-rounder, and recently has announced his stunning form as well in the series against Scotland. 

However, Green has often been troubled against spinners and Adil Rashid might hunt him down being one of England’s finest bowlers in the hut.

The England cricket team will be without their regular captain and dynamic opener, Jos Buttler, for the upcoming T20I series due to injury. Phil Salt has been named as the stand-in captain for the series. Additionally, England has included several uncapped players in the squad, which could present an advantage for Australia.

Meanwhile, Australia, fresh from a 3-0 series sweep against Scotland, will approach the England series with confidence. Their top order is in excellent form, the bowling unit is performing well, and every player is giving their full effort—an ideal scenario for Australia as they prepare for the English challenge ahead.

The highly awaited and exciting Australia’s tour of England, 2024 is all set to commence as the Mighty Aussies will be locking horns against Phil Salt’s England in the first T20I of the three-match 20-20 series at Rose Bowl Cricket Stadium of Southampton on 11th of September.

After securing an easy 3-0 series win over Scotland, the Aussies will now be playing against their Ashes-Rivals. Mitchell Marsh-led Australia have received a boost with the return of Matthew Short and Josh Hazlewood.

Seamer Nathan Ellis was unfortunately ruled out of the series due to a hamstring-injury, but his place in the team has been taken by Riley Meredith.

England on the other hand will be missing the services of their regular white-ball skipper, Jos Buttler, who has not fully recovered from his calf-injury. In the absence of Jos, hard hitting opener Phil Salt will be wearing the captain’s hat.

The squad of the 2022 T20 World Cup winning team consists of some new faces as 20-year-old Batting All-round Jacob Bethell has received his maiden England call-up after working relentlessly hard in Domestic Twenty-Twenty leagues.

Left-arm pacer Josh Hull has also been included in the squad for the T20I series against the Kangaroos and the duo of John Turner (right-arm seamer) and Dan Mousley (right-arm off break bowler) are a part of the squad as well.

As the two fierce rivals prepare to take on each other, the article below will be focussing on the weather-forecast of Southampton’s Rose Bowl Cricket Stadium.

Therefore, fans of both the teams will get the opportunity to enjoy the entire match without any rain related interruptions between the two Ashes-Rivals

Home Side England (ENG) are set to lock horns against Ashes-Rivals Australia in the first T20i of the three-match T20 International series at Southampton’s Rose Bowl Stadium on Wednesday, 11th of September. 

The Aussies are entering the series on the back of a comfortable 3-0 series whitewash over Scotland while England on the other hand won the three-match test series against Sri Lanka by a margin of 2-1 but their defeat in the third test match has significantly shifted away the momentum. 

Before the 2024 T20 World Cup, the Kangaroos had whitewashed New Zealand by a margin of 3-0 in the three-match T20 International series and they were expected to perform well in the T20 World Cup. However, they had a Forgettable T20 World Cup campaign as they got knocked out in the super eight stage after suffering a shocking defeat versus Afghanistan by 21 runs. 

But things have improved since then and the 2021 T20 World Cup winners have returned to their winning groove. 

England on the other hand have played many dull white-ball matches which have raised questions about their chances of winning the series against their rivals. The Three Lions played two T20 International series before the 2024 T20 World Cup and lost 3-1 versus the West Indies but they secured a 2-0 win against Pakistan. 

In the recently concluded T20 World Cup, things didn’t go according to plan for the Three Lions and they crashed out of the tournament after losing to India in the semi finals. England haven’t played a T20i match since then and they will be looking to get back to winning ways in the shortest format of the game by winning against their fierce rivals.

England vs Australia 1st T20 International: Pitch Report of Southampton’s Rose Bowl Stadium

The pitch of Southampton’s Rose Bowl Stadium is known to favour batters and the average first-inning score at this ground is 172 runs. This does not mean the chasing team will not have any kind of advantages. 

The pitch offers the same amount of support to the chasing side as well as the  deck remains the same for the majority part of the match. The Aussies managed to score 248 runs at this very venue against England back in 2013 and that score still remains the highest one scored by any team at this ground. 

In terms of bowling, the seamers will make the new ball talk with early-swing in the first six overs and as the game progresses, the spinners will have a big say as well. The weather is expected to be overcast with just a 13% chance of rain. 

England vs Australia 1st T20i International: Head to Head records in T20I’s of both the teams

The two Ashes-Rivals have faced each other 24 times in the shortest format of the game and out of these 24 matches, the Aussies have reigned supreme on 11 occasions while England have won 11 times as well. Two encounters got washed-out due to constant rainfall.

Best players of the first T20 International between England and Australia (Predicted) 

Best Batter (Predicted): Travis Head

Australia’s star batter Travis Head is in outstanding form and he was at his best in the first T20I versus Scotland as the southpaw scored 80 runs off just 25 deliveries and helped his side get over the line comfortably. His inning consisted of 12 fours and five sixes and he remained not-out with a strike-rate of 320 next to his name. 

Thus, the Kangaroos will be hoping that the 30 year old continues to remain in good Nick with the bat and help them win against England in the first T20 International. 

Best Bowler (Predicted): Sean Abbott

32 year old right-arm fast bowler Sean Abbott is regarded as one of the most underrated bowlers in the Australian setup. He’s the highest wicket taker in the history of the Big Bash with 165 scalps next to his name and he’s a really skillful bowler. 

But, he’s very unlucky that the likes of Pat Cummins, Josh Hazelwood and Mitchell Starc are playing Cricket for the Aussies at the same-time as him or else he would have played many matches for his side. 

Abbott was Australia’s joint-highest wicket taker against Scotland with six scalps and leg spinner Adam Zampa was the only bowler to bowl more overs in the three-match series than his 10 overs. 

The conditions of Southampton’s Rose Bowl Stadium will suit Sean’s bowling and he will be the one to watch out for. 

Today’s match prediction between England and Australia:

The team which elects to bat first will win the game.

Scenario number one

Australia win the toss and elect to bat first

Powerplay Score – 55 to 65 runs

First-Inning Score – 195 to 200 runs

Australia win the game

Scenario number two

England win the toss and elect to bat first

Powerplay Score – 60 to 70 runs

First Inning Score – 185 to 190 runs

England win the game

In what promises to be a really exciting series, Ashes-Rivals England and Australia are set to take on each other in a three-game T20 International series. It will be a home series for England and the first encounter will take place at the Utilita Bowl stadium of Southampton. The match will be played on the 11th of September and it will commence at 11:00 PM. 

ENG vs AUS 1st T20i : Previews of both the teams

England

The 2022 T20 World Cup winners will be without the services of their regular skipper Jos Buttler, who got ruled out of the T20 International series due to suffering a calf-injury. In his place, Phil Salt will be seen handling the leadership duties. 

Jamie Overton, the Surrey All-Rounder has received a call up for the T20 International series while wicket-keeper batsman Jordan Cox has been selected as the backup wicket-keeper. 

The fast bowling all-round duo of San Curran and Jofra Archer will be the ones to watch our for, as both of them are looking in really good conditions fitness wise and they will be looking to help their side secure a victory over the Aussies. 

The home side will be without the services of spin bowling All-Rounder Moeen Ali who announced his retirement from International-Cricket earlier this week. 

Overall, the squad of the Three Lions looks really balanced and solid. The Australians will be looking to get better of their fierce rivals while England’s home conditions dominance remains unmatched. 

Australia

The mighty Aussies will be playing under the leadership of Mitchell Marsh as their regular captain Pat Cummins has not yet recovered from an injury. David Warner has retired completely from International Cricket and his void will be felt significantly by the Australians. 

Hard hitting opener Jake Fraser-Mcgurk is regarded as a highly rated youngster and while he wasn’t able to get going with the bat against Scotland, he is certainly anticipated to perform well as the second- opener alongside Travis Head against the Three Lions. 

The premier fast bowler of the Kangaroos, Mitchell Starc has been rested, which will allow Sean Abbot and Josh Hazelwood to fill the left armer’s void. The duo of Spencer Johnson and Nathan Ellis have not been selected due to the respective injuries suffered by them

Regardless, the Mitch Marsh-led team have a really strong and experienced squad at their disposal, which paves the way for really exciting encounters between the two rivals.

ENG vs AUS 1st T20i: Utilita Bowl, Southampton Pitch-Report

The pitch at Southampton’s Utilita Bowl is known for being a batting-friendly one, especially in the initial phase of a game. The surface is known to be on the flatter side, with even-bounce which lets the batters play their strokes with ease. 

But, the surface even offers help to the bowlers, especially the pacers, in the first six overs, due to the typical nature of England’s pitches.

IND vs BAN: India will host Bangladesh for a 2-match Test series, with the first test to be played at Chepauk from the 19th of September. The two-match series will be the initiation of India’s hectic red-ball schedule, which will comprise the players competing in 10 test matches that conclude with the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.

Several players, as per the ultimatum of the BCCI, have participated in the Duleep Trophy opening round, which earned a Test return for many players like KL Rahul and Rishabh Pant, who returned to the format after almost 21 months of absence due to an extended recovery from injury.

India selectors have included the likes of young batters like Sarfaraz Khan and Dhruv Jurel into the side as well, keeping in mind their contributions to India’s success in the last England series. As far as new names are concerned, Akash Deep, who is one year old, takes the place of the fourth pacer in the team, while Yash Dayal receives his maiden call to the Indian team.

India’s Squad for Bangladesh Tests: Rohit Sharma, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Sarfaraz Khan, KL Rahul, Rishabh Pant, Dhruv Jurel, Axar Patel, Ravindra Jadeja, Ravi Ashwin, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohammad Siraj, Jasprit Bumrah, Akash Deep, and Yash Dayal.

India had announced a 16-member squad for the series, while now, as per reports, Sarfaraz Khan is all set to appear in the Duleep Trophy second round. Sarfaraz, who featured for India B in the first-round match, will resume action at the Duleep Trophy second round for the side.


Hence, KL Rahul, India’s long-served red-ball opener, will now be seen in the role of a middle-order batter, as he might come in at No. 5, his usual spot in the one-day side. Now with Sarfaraz gone, Rahul is sure to feature for India in the first test match.

India’s Best Possible Playing XI:

Openers: Rohit Sharma and Yashasvi Jaiswal

India can often rely on their opening pair of veteran skipper Rohit Sharma and young, talented Yashasvi Jaiswal, as they will be India’s fixed opening pair in the longer format until the WTC.

Middle-Order: Virat Kohli, Shubman Gill, KL Rahul, and Rishabh Pant

India’s three-format player and the newly appointed vice-captain of white-ball cricket, Shubman Gill, is set to play in the first test as their No. 3 batter. Though Gill’s form has been a concern in recent times.

Indian veteran since the Sri Lanka ODI’s will make his return to India on the 12th of this month to join the Indian side in their training session at Chepauk before the first test. Virat will also be on the quest to revive his form before India embarks on their remarkable journey to Australia for the BGT.

Both KL Rahul and Rishabh Pant are making a comeback into the Test side of the Indian team after they performed recently in the Duleep Trophy. Pant’s return has been long anticipated, and the day has finally come as he will feature as their wicketkeeper batter.

All-Rounders: Ravindra Jadeja and Axar Patel

Jadeja, the star Indian all-rounder ranked by the ICC as the No. 1 all-rounder in Tests, will once again feature for India, despite being withdrawn from the Duleep Trophy 2024 after being named in the squad initially.

Axar, who is now India’s frontline all-rounder, will be the second all-rounder if India does look to feature two all-rounders in the Test team.

Spinners: Ravi Ashwin

Ravichandran Ashwin has emerged as an all-rounder for India, as he has proved to be effective with the bat for India in the longest format of the game. Hence, alongside being India’s frontline spinner, he can often replace Axar Patel from the side.

Pace bowlers: Jasprit Bumrah, Yash Dayal, and Akash Deep

Siraj has not been the finest when it comes to red-ball cricket; hence, it will be a wise decision to have him dropped in order to make his place for Akash Deep, who seems to be in fine form and holds a similar accuracy of line and length as that of Mohammad Shami.

Jasprit Bumrah will make a return to the field after the T20 World Cup, and he will lead India’s pace attack. Also, left-hand pacer Yash Dayal, who received his maiden test call, might feature in the 11 immediately, as India for long has been in search of a left-arm pacer who can take the ball away from right-handers.
