<p>Team India were the number-one-ranked team in Test a couple of weeks ago but one loss against South Africa changed the dynamics and India lost a few hard-earned rating points. </p>



<p>At the same time, Australia, who were ranked second, were engaged in a five-match Test series against Pakistan at home. Australia whitewashed Pakistan in the series and they gained 4 rating points after the series. </p>

<p>India and Australia were holding 118 rating points before the series but at the conclusion of the series, India lost the long-held Number One spot in the ICC Men's Test Team Rankings. India are currently ranked second with 117 rating points in 32 matches and Australia have made some gains and now they are the number 1 Test side with 121 rating points in 34 matches.</p>



<p>England are ranked third in the ICC Test Team rankings. They have played the Ashes 2023 series in the new cycle. Winning two and losing two in the series and one being a draw, the series ended in balance. England cricket have gone south after the Ashes. They were mediocre during the ICC ODI World Cup 2023 and now they have lost ODI and T20I series against West Indies.</p>

<p>Down on the Table are South Africa. The Proteas successfully defended their foe and drew the series against India in a Two-match test series. They are currently ranked 4th with a rating of 106 in 24 matches.</p>



<p>Next are New Zealand and they have 95 ratings in 26 matches. Pakistan were very close to the fifth position before the start of the Australia tour but they lost all five test matches in Australia.

ICC Men?s Test Team Rankings Updated Before IND vs ENG Test Series | India-England Ranked 2nd and 3rd Aiming the TOP Spot| Full Men?s Test Team Standings

<p><strong>(10 March) ICC Men?s Test Team Rankings:</strong> The India vs England Test Series has finally come to an end with a result reflecting the utter domination of the Indian Team. A 4-1 series victory over England helped India to reclaim the top spot in the latest updated ICC Men's Test Team Rankings. This post contains the latest Updated ICC Men's Test Team Rankings after the IND vs ENG Test Series.</p>



<div class="wp-block-rank-math-toc-block" id="rank-math-toc"><h2>Jump To:</h2><nav><ul><li class=""><a href="#icc-mens-test-team-rankings">ICC Men?s Test Team Rankings</a></li></ul></nav></div>



<p>Prior to the five-match test series, India were ranked second in the ICC Test Team standings. The home side were the favorites for the series but they got a tough challenge from the visitors. The scoreline of 4-1 doesn't actually show the competition and thrill of the series as England were the only team that made it hard for Indian players to win each game.</p>



<p>As mentioned by the head coach of England the India tour will be the real test of Bazball, it truly was and England arguably failed it. Despite winning the first test which laid off a strong base for them to concur with India, they let India take away well-set games in favor of England in the next three tests. The Dharamshala test was the easiest win for India in the series.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/02/India-vs-England-2nd-test.jpg" alt="IND vs ENG 3rd Test Playing11, Dream11 Prediction, India vs England Dream11 Team, Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium Pitch Report, India Playing11 | England tour of India 2024" class="wp-image-126194" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Image: BCCI</figcaption></figure>



<p>With a 4-1 series win, India are the number one Test team in the ICC Team Rankings. They have played 38 Test matches in this cycle and they have a rating of 122 with 4636 points. Following them are Australia. They have played 37 matches and have a rating of 117 with 4345 points.</p>



<p>England are third in the rankings. They have played 49 matches and have 111 ratings. England had never lost a test series since they acquired the new brand of cricket before their India tour and this IND vs ENG Test series went as the first series loss for them.</p>



<p>New Zealand are ranked fourth in the latest rankings. They are currently engaged in a two-match test series against Australia and they have lost the first match. After that loss, they are now placed 4th with a 106 rating and 2939 points.</p>

<p>Coming back to India, following this victory, they are currently at the top of the standings in all three forms. In the ODI rankings, they are ranked first with 121 rating points, closely followed by Australia with 118 rating points. India leads the T20Is with 266 rating points, followed by England (256). With a points percentage of 68.51, India leads the ICC World Test Championship Standings table as well.</p>



<p>This is a similar situation that existed between September 2023 and January 2024. Following a 1-1 tie with South Africa, India dropped to the second rank in the Test Team Rankings. Following their three-match Test series victory against Pakistan at home, Australia surpassed India to take the top spot in the Test rankings.</p>

<p>Australia, under the leadership of Pat Cummins have become the number one Test playing nation in the world after ICC updated the Test team rankings on Friday.&nbsp;</p>



<p>The Aussies magnificent 209 runs win against India in the World Test Championship 2023 Final at The Oval has helped them overtake the Men in Blue in the test team rankings.&nbsp;</p>

ICC Test Team Rankings Updated on May 3 | Australia on Top with 124 Points

<p><strong>ICC Men's Test Team Rankings: </strong>New Zealand have just come up with a historic win against India in India after 36 long years and became the first team in the last few years to defeat India in India. The International Cricket Council have released the latest ICC Men's Test Team Rankings after IND vs NZ 1st Test and here we are with the latest updates.</p>

<p>How often do we hear that India lost a home match? It happened quite a long time ago, and New Zealand have done it after so many years. Also, New Zealand defeated India in a home test 36 years ago, and they outclassed India. </p>



<p>The India vs New Zealand 1st Test started with Day 1 being washed away by rain. India won the toss and opted to bat first. New Zealand wrapped up Indian innings for just 46 runs and that became the lowest total of Indian team in India. </p>



<p>New Zealand didn't let go of the advantage and scored over 400 runs in their first Innings. India then batted the way they are known to bat and recovered the deficit but the second new ball wrote the story of their second collapse in the same test. India managed to get a lead of 106 and New Zealand covered it with just losing two wickets. </p>



<p>Along with New Zealand, Pakistan won a home test after 1300+ days defeating England. </p>

<p>In the latest Rankings update, India is ranked second with a rating of 121. Australia is at the top of the table with a 124 rating in 30 matches. </p>



<p>England is ranked third with 108 ratings and South Africa follows them with 104 ratings. New Zealand are ranked sixth with 89 ratings in 25 matches played and Pakistan are ranked 8th with 76 rating points. </p>

ICC Men's Test Team Rankings Latest Updated After IND vs NZ 1st Test

icc-mens-test-team-rankings-latest-updated-after-ind-vs-nz-1st-test

<p><strong>ICC Men's Test Team Rankings: </strong>After a series of what we would say was a disaster for Team India in Australia and for Team Pakistan in South Africa, the International Cricket Council has come up with the latest updated ICC Men's Test Team Rankings where India slipped past South Africa. </p>
<p>Two big teams from Asia toured two different countries in December.  The positive of the Pakistan Tour of South Africa was that they are the only nation to whitewash South Africa in the ODI format in South Africa. The end result of the test series is disappointing for both nations as they failed to deliver the best. Let's take a look at both tours in brief.</p>
<h2><strong>Border Gavaskar Trophy 2024/25</strong></h2>
<p>India’s struggles in Test cricket continued as they suffered a crushing 3-1 defeat against Australia in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. This marked the second consecutive Test series loss for the team, adding to the earlier 3-0 drubbing against New Zealand at home. Despite starting the series with high hopes, Rohit Sharma’s leadership failed to inspire consistency, allowing Australia to dominate and reclaim the trophy after a decade.</p>
<p>The series began on a promising note for India with a commanding 295-run victory in Perth, led by stand-in captain Jasprit Bumrah. However, that early success turned out to be the only bright spot in an otherwise disappointing campaign.</p>
<p><img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202412/image_430x256_67738a0bddf09.jpg" alt=""></p>
<p>Australia roared back with a 10-wicket triumph in Adelaide, while the rain-affected draw in Brisbane did little to shift the momentum. The Boxing Day Test in Melbourne saw Australia crush India by 184 runs, leaving the visitors on the back foot heading into the series finale.</p>
<p>India entered the decisive fifth Test in Sydney needing a win to salvage the series and avoid their first defeat to Australia since 2014-15. Unfortunately, their performance faltered once again, and the hosts sealed a comfortable six-wicket victory. With this win, Australia not only secured the series 3-1 but also ended India’s recent dominance in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, delivering a strong statement in world cricket.</p>
<h2><strong>Pakistan Tour of South Africa 2024/25</strong></h2>
<p>South Africa clinched a 2-0 series win against Pakistan, securing their place in the World Test Championship final. The first Test at SuperSport Park was a nail-biting affair, with South Africa chasing 148 and narrowly winning by two wickets after a dramatic collapse, thanks to their lower-order resilience. Pakistan’s bowlers fought hard but couldn’t break South Africa’s eight-match losing streak in the country.</p>
<p>The second Test in Cape Town saw South Africa dominate with a 10-wicket victory. The proteas, batting first put up 600+ runs on the board, already winning the pressure game. Despite following on, Pakistan put up a spirited fight with a strong second-innings total of 478. However, South Africa's bowlers limited the target to just 58, which the hosts chased with ease, sealing the series in just four days.</p>
<p><img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202501/image_430x256_677de4a3187ba.jpg" alt=""></p>
<p>This series highlighted South Africa’s consistency and ability to deliver under pressure. Their strong bowling attack and solid team performance throughout ensured they remained unbeaten in the 2024/25 season. With this victory, South Africa carries significant momentum heading into the WTC final at Lord’s.</p>
<p>After these two series, here is the ICC Men's Test Team Rankings updated recently:</p>
<h2><strong>ICC Men's Test Team Rankings</strong></h2>
<p>India were leading the ICC Test Team Rankings a couple of months back in the time. The home series loss against New Zealand put them in a 121 rating and India slipped to the second spot. The Australia tour was also disappointing for the Indian team as they lost 3 matches which further damaged their rating and India are now ranked third with a 109 rating.</p>
