The domination of India in the test Cricket in the recent past has been top-notch. India have successfully qualified for both the WTC finals played to date but they had tough days in the finals. Just following the WTC final 2023, India and West Indies were scheduled to play a two-match test series and India won the series 1-0 after one draw.



In the latest updated ICC Test player rankings, there are as many as eight Indian players in the top 10 rankings or each (batting, bowling, and all-rounder) category. Two batsmen in the top 10 batting rankings, three bowlers in the top 10 bowling rankings, and three players in the top 10 All-rounders rankings. The bowling rankings and all-rounders rankings are led by Indian players.

Virat Kohli, India's highest run-scorer in the recently concluded two-match Test Series against South Africa, climbed three spots to take over the number six position from former Pakistan skipper Babar Azam, owing to excellent performances in the Cape Town Test against South Africa.



Along with him, the present Indian skipper Rohit Sharma has also made some massive gains. His aggressive approach at the top in the red ball format is something, the team is getting a lot of benefits with. His recent performances have led him to the 10th spot with 748 rating points.



With 864 rating points next to his name, New Zealand captain Kane Williamson is still at the top of the Men's Test Batting Rankings. Although he wasn't active for a while, each time he came into the square, he stole the show. Joe Root of England comes in second with 859 rating points. Despite a lackluster test series against Pakistan, Steve Smith maintained his third-place ranking with 818 rating points.



Coming to bowling rankings, Ravi Ashwin of India has been leading the board for quite a long time now. With 863 rating points to his name, the spin master Ashwin is at the top. Following him is Australian skipper Pat Cummins who replaced Rabada from the place. Jasprit Bumrah is ranked 4th in the latest updated rankings and Jadeja is fifth.

Mohammad Siraj also took a big leap from 30th rank to 17th rank in the test format following his outstanding 6-wicket haul against the Proteas at Cape Town. Josh Hazlewood also climbed up 4 ranks to share the 7th rank with English bowler James Anderson.



As always, there are no big changes in the All-rounders rankings. Indian all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja is leading the table with 434 rating points followed by his compatriot Ashwin. There is a big rating points margin between number one and number two as Ashwin stands second with 341 rating points.

Axar Patel shares the fifth spot with an England player Joe Root. Know for his batting, Joe Root had an excellent Ashes 2023 with ball as well resulting in his name being in the All-rounders tally.

icc-test-player-rankings-rank-1-to-10-updated-10-january-virat-rohit-in-top-10-full-icc-mens-test-player-standings

(24 Jan) ICC Test Player Rankings: A major test series for India in the context of the World Test Championship is just around the corner. As India and England are going to be engaged in a five-match red ball series starting 25 January, here we are with the latest updated ICC Test Player Rankings (Rank 1 to 10) before the IND vs ENG Test Series.



<div class="wp-block-rank-math-toc-block" id="rank-math-toc"><nav><ul><li class=""><a href="#icc-test-player-rankings-rank-1-to-10">ICC Test Player Rankings (Rank 1 to 10)</a><ul><li class=""><a href="#icc-mens-test-batting-standings">ICC Men?s Test Batting Standings</a></li><li class=""><a href="#icc-mens-test-bowling-standings">ICC Men?s Test Bowling Standings</a></li><li class=""><a href="#icc-mens-test-all-rounder-standings">ICC Men?s Test All-Rounder Standings</a></li></ul></li></ul></nav></div>

India's success in the test format in the recent past has been quite fascinating. They were ICC's Top-ranked test team for a pretty long term before Australia dethroned them a couple of weeks back.



In the most recent ICC Test player rankings, up to eight Indian players are ranked in the top ten in each category (batting, bowling, and all-rounder). The top 10 batting rankings feature two Indian batters, the top 10 bowling rankings feature three Indian bowlers, and the top 10 all-rounder rankings have three Indian players. Indian players lead both the all-rounders and bowling rankings.



India recently played a two-match test series against South Africa and tied the series on an equal score. A near-perfect team game and fabulous individual performances led India to second rank in the World Test Championship points table.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2023/07/Virat-Kohlis-76th-Test-Ton.jpg" alt="Virat Kohli (IND)" class="wp-image-117129" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Virat Kohli (IND)</figcaption></figure>



Virat Kohli, who scored the most runs for India in the recent two-match Test Series against South Africa, stepped up three slots to replace former Pakistan captain Babar Azam from number six with a 775 rating after a strong performance in the Cape Town Test against South Africa.



Alongside him, the current Indian captain Rohit Sharma has also seen significant success. The team enjoys the advantages immensely from his aggressive style at the top in the red ball format. With 748 rating points, he is now ranked 10th after his latest efforts.



The skipper of New Zealand, Kane Williamson, continues to lead the Men's Test Batting Rankings with 864 rating points next to his name. Despite his prolonged inactivity, he always stole the show when he entered the park.



England's Joe Root is ranked second with 859 rating points. Steve Smith remained in third position with 818 rating points after a dull test series against Pakistan. Babar Azam dropped to eighth place in the most recent ICC Test Batting rankings after a lackluster Australia trip.

When it comes to bowling rankings, India's Ravi Ashwin has been at the top for a long time now. The spin guru Ashwin is ranked first with 863 rating points. Pat Cummins, an Australian captain who took Rabada's spot, follows him. Jasprit Bumrah is placed fourth in the most recent revised rankings, while Jadeja is fifth.



After his incredible six-wicket performance against the Proteas in Cape Town, Mohammad Siraj also made a significant jump in the test format, moving up from 30th to 17th place. Additionally, Josh Hazlewood climbed four spots to tie English bowler James Anderson for seventh place.



England's Ollie Robinson is ranked 6th in the Bowling rankings with 762 ratings.

In the All-rounders ranks, not much has changed. With 434 rating points, Indian all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja sits top of the standings, followed by fellow countryman Ashwin. The difference in rating points between first and second is substantial, with Ashwin coming in second with 341 rating points.



Axar Patel and Joe Root, an England player, are tied for fifth place. Although Joe Root is best recognized for his batting abilities, he also had a great Ashes 2023 with the ball, earning a spot on the all-rounder's list. England's Chris Woakes is ranked 11th in the All-rounder's tally.

ICC Test Player Rankings (Rank 1 to 10) Updated Before IND vs ENG Test Series | Full ICC Men?s Test Player Standings

icc-test-player-rankings-rank-1-to-10-updated-before-ind-vs-eng-test-series-full-icc-mens-test-player-standings

India?s star pacer Jasprit Bumrah has moved up to the number 1 spot in the latest ICC Men?s Test Bowling Ranking after his nine-wicket haul in the Visakhapatnam India vs. England test match. This is the first time that an Indian fast bowler has topped the Men?s Test Bowling Rankings chart.



Prior to Bumrah, Kapil Dev, who was second in the Test Bowling Rankings between December 1979 and February 1980, was the highest-ranking player. In 2010, from October to November, former left-arm seamer Zaheer Khan held the third position in the Test rankings.



The Mumbai Indians seamer, who recently became the quickest Indian seamer to pick up 150 Test scalps, rose to the No. 1 position for the very first time in his career thanks to his outstanding figures of 9-91, which helped the Men in Blue defeat the Three Lions by a margin of 106 runs in the second Test match and level the five-match Test Series 1-1.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/01/Jasprit-Bumrah-1-1024x577.jpg" alt="IND vs ENG Test Schedule, Time Table, Squads, Head-to-Head Details, Live Streaming Info | India vs England Test" class="wp-image-125368" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Image Source: England Cricket</figcaption></figure>



He was named man of the match in the second test thanks to his nine wicket haul, which also helped him move up three spots in the most recent Test Bowling rankings and unseat fellow countryman Ravichandran Ashwin at the top. Ravi Ashwin, who held the top spot in the rankings since March 2023, was able to pick just three wickets in the second test against England, and he has dropped to the third spot behind South Africa speedster Kagiso Rabada in the recently updated Test Bowling rankings. Rabada continues to remain in second position despite not playing in the two-match Test Series against New Zealand.



<figure class="wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
https://twitter.com/TheCricketerMag/status/1755157428310520122
</div></figure>



Bumrah has become the No. 1 ranked Test Bowler for the first time in his career, as the Indian Test Vice-Captain has never managed to finish above the third position in the rankings despite picking up ten five-wicket hauls in 34 test matches for the Men in Blue. The 30-year-old has so far managed to get two-five wicket hauls in the longest format of the game in 2024, having managed to finish with figures of 6-61 against South Africa in the Cape Town Test in January 2024, and he helped Rohit Sharma and company win the Vizag Test against England with his 6-45.



Talking about the other bowlers, Prabath Jayasuriya, the Sri Lankan spinner, jumped to the sixth spot in the test bowling rankings from the ninth position thanks to his five-wicket haul in the lone test against Afghanistan in Colombo. Australian off-spinner Nathan Lyon, who recently crossed the landmark of 500 test wickets in the three-match Test Series against Pakistan, moved up to the eighth position from number ten. Indian all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja and British speedster Ollie Robinson have dropped to the ninth and tenth positions, respectively.



In the Test All-Rounder rankings, Jadeja continues to be at the top of the rankings, while Joe Root has dropped two places to number six after a poor outing in the Vizag Test against the Indians. Axar Patel and Ben Stokes have climbed up to the fourth and fifth positions, respectively.

ICC Men's Test Bowling Rankings: Jasprit Bumrah Toped the List; Checkout Full Rankings

India Cricket Team spinner Varun Chakravarthy is all set to be part of the team for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. As per the reports in RevSportz, it is learned that spinner is likely to added into the team for tournament around 11th February. 
On Tuesday (4th February), BCCI added Varun Chakravarthy added into the Indian team for the ODI series against England. The mystery spinner wasn't part of the ODI squad, but with the way he performed in the T20Is, he made selectors to add him to the team. 
Varun Chakravarthy picked 14 wickets in the T20I series against England and troubled the batters all throughout the series. He also became the bowler with the most number of wickets for India in the T20I series and also won the Player of the Match award. 
The reports in RevSportz claimed that Varun Chakravarthy has been added to the team so that India team management can see if he is fit to play the ODI. If he impresses management, then he is likely to be added to the team for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. 
<h2>Varun Chakravarthy is yet to make his debut for India in ODIs</h2>
Varun Chakravarthy is yet to make his debut for India in ODIs. The reports in Indian Express recently stated that he is poised for the debut in the first game against England, but the major question remains who he will replace in the team, especially with every player having a defined position. 
Varun Chakravarthy will be entering the ODI series on the back of his staggering performances with the ball in the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2024-25. He was the second leading wicket-taker in the tournament as he picked 18 wickets in the event and, in all, has played 23 games in the format. 
Varun Chakravarthy made his comeback into the Indian team during the T20I series against Bangladesh. Since then, he has been putting in hard yards and is consistently performing for the team in the shortest format of the game. He would be keen to replicate the same heroics in ODIs as well.

England Cricket Team has announced the playing XI for the first ODI against India. The three-match series between the teams is all set to be played from 6th February at the VCA Stadium in Nagpur. The last two games will be played on 9th and 12th February, respectively, in Cuttack and Ahmedabad. 
England, who lost the T20I series by the margin of 4-1, have announced the strong XI for the first match of the IND vs ENG ODI series. Joe Root has made his return to the team for the first time after the ICC World Cup 2023. The premier didn't play a single ODI after the tournament and would want to make an impact. 
Ben Duckett will be opening the innings alongside Phil Salt in the first IND vs ENG ODI. The duo opened the innings in the T20I series as well but couldn't make the impact they wanted. It will be a great opportunity for them to get some runs under their belt and help the team stage a comeback. 
Joe Root will be batting at No.3 while Harry Brook has been slated to bat at No.3. The vice-captain of the England team struggled in the T20I series as he slammed just one half-century in the five games. He also was trolled a lot for his smog statement and would be keen to reply to all the critics in style. 
Captain Jos Buttler has been drafted at N0.5 in the series and it is expected that he will keep the wickets. He was the only settled batter for England in the T20I series and would want to carry on his form in the IND vs ENG ODI series. 
Liam Livingstone and Jacob Bethell are the two all-rounders picked by England in the middle order. Along with him, Byron Carse will be there as a fast-bowling all-rounder. Adil Rashid is the frontline spinner in the team. He will be holding a key for the team on ODIs as he did in T20Is. 
Jofra Archer and Saqib Mahmood are the two frontline pacers in the team. The duo were decent with the ball in the IND vs ENG T20I series.

The Indian Cricket Team successfully defeated England by a strong margin of 4-1 in the five-match T20 International series at home and now both teams are gearing up to take on each other in a three-match One Day International Series. This series is going to act as a preparatory ground for both teams ahead of Champions Trophy 2025.
However, things are not looking good for the Rohit Sharma-led outfit as they have been handed a huge blow ahead of the ODI series versus the Three Lions as ace pacer Jasprit Bumrah has been ruled out of the entire series since he has failed to recover on time from the injury he suffered versus Australia in the Sydney Test-Match. 
In his place, Varun Chakaravarthy has been drafted into the squad for the three-match series. Following the conclusion of this ODI series, the Men in Blue will go to Dubai in order to take part in the 2025 edition of the Champions Trophy from the 20th of February. In such a situation, Bumrah's unavailability due to injury is a huge blow to the Rohit Sharma-led outfit's ambition of sweeping the ODI series versus England and lift the Champions Trophy for the first time since 2013.
If the 31-year-old pacer fails to recover on time, then he will surely miss the Champions Trophy and the question which arises here is that if the Mumbai Indians pacer is set to miss the Marquee ICC event of this year, then who will take his place in the team? Let us tell you that four players can be considered for the role of replacing him. We will be taking a look at those four players in this article. 
<h2>4. Avesh Khan</h2>
<h2><a href="https://www.espncricinfo.com/cricketers/avesh-khan-694211/photos" title="Avesh Khan of Rajasthan Royals celebrates picking up a wicket | Image: Getty Images"><img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202502/image_430x256_67a38b5c60c6c.jpg" alt="" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"></a></h2>
28-year-old Avesh Khan can be considered as an option to take the place of Jasprit Bumrah in the Champions Trophy. He is a tall fast bowler who knows how to bowl with good pace and he is known to hit the deck hard with his short-pitched deliveries. Avesh also took part in all of the three ODI matches versus South Africa in 2023 and his pace and bounce can create a lot of issues for opposition batters in Champions Trophy 2025.
He has nine wickets to his name in eight One-Day Internationals and he ended that series as the 2nd highest wicket-taker behind Arshdeep Singh with six scalps to his name. 
All in all, the skillset of the 28-year-old and his experience of bowling well versus top International players in the IPL make him a strong contender to replace Jasprit Bumrah in Team India's Champions Trophy squad.
<h2>3. Khaleel Ahmed</h2>
<h2><a href="https://www.gettyimages.in/detail/news-photo/khaleel-ahmed-of-india-poses-for-a-portrait-prior-to-the-news-photo/2155703206?adppopup=true" title="NEW YORK, NEW YORK - JUNE 01: Khaleel Ahmed of India poses for a portrait prior to the ICC Men's T20 Cricket World Cup West Indies &amp; USA 2024 on June 01, 2024 in New York, New York. (Photo by Alex Davidson-ICC/ICC via Getty Images)"><img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202502/image_430x256_67a38e82a8761.jpg" alt="" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"></a></h2>
Left-arm seamer Khaleel Ahmed is another player who might be considered to take the place of Jasprit Bumrah in Team India's Champions Trophy squad. Yes, he might not be a popular choice but certainly, he can do the job if given the chance. 
He was a part of the Indian Team as a reserve player for the 2024 T20 World Cup in the USA and West Indies. He was included in the team after performing in a brilliant manner with the ball for the Delhi Capitals (DC) in IPL 2024.
He helped them get early wickets in the powerplay overs and was also impressive in the death overs. The 27-year-old has always been considered by the Indian management for the limited-overs formats and he has taken part in 18 T20 International games and 11 One-Day International contests for the Men in Blue. 
Talking about his stats in both formats, he has dismissed 16 batters in the shortest format of the game at an average of 35.13 and an okayish economy rate of 8.52. In terms of ODI's, the 27-year-old has 15 scalps to his name in 11 encounters at a decent average of 31 and a good economy rate of 5.81.
Khaleel is one of the few left-arm seamers to have been developed by the Indian coaching team to become the next big thing and if the 27-year-old finds a way to become a little more consistent and improve his economy rate, then there's no stopping him from replacing Bumrah in Champions Trophy.
<h2>2. Mukesh Kumar</h2>

Right-arm fast bowler Mukesh Kumar, hailing from the Gopalganj town of Bihar, can be considered a genuine contender to fill the void left by Bumrah if he misses the Champions Trophy. 
He has the ability to do wonders in the whiteball format. He knows how to catch the batters off guard with his swinging deliveries in the powerplay overs, he knows to outsmart the opposition batters with the old ball, and his accurate yorkers and slower deliveries have the potential to make the best batters stay quiet. 
He played a key role in helping Team India win the home T20 International series versus Australia in 2023 and his impressive death bowling performance was appreciated by the duo of Marcus Stoinis and Tim David. 
He has experience of playing in 50 first-class matches and apart from this, he has also participated in six One-Day International games. This bowler is slowly and gradually increasing his experience. 
The 31-year-old has natural talent by his side and he is well known for executing inch-perfect slower yorker deliveries in the death overs. We have seen him play for the Delhi Capitals (DC) in the IPL. Taking all of these things into consideration, this player can genuinely be considered a strong contender to replace Bumrah
<h2>1. Mohammed Siraj</h2>

DSP Siraj aka Mohammed Siraj from Hyderabad is rightfully considered the the main contender to replace Jasprit Bumrah in the Champions Trophy if he misses the tournament due to injury. 
Siraj played a key role in helping Team India win the Asia Cup in 2023 and reach the final of the 2023 ODI World Cup but when he was omitted from the Champions Trophy squad, that decision shocked all the cricket fans and experts across the world. 
The 30-year-old is one of Team India's most dependable pacers across all formats and when we talk about his numbers in ODI Cricket, we get to know that he had 71 scalps to his name in 44 matches. These stats are not normal and it just go on to show how good the 30-year-old is in One Day Cricket. 
If Bumrah misses the mega ICC event of this year due to injury, then Siraj should definitely be called up to fill his big shoes in the team. The world is surely not ready for the comeback of a wounded Lion, Mohammed Siraj ;).

4 players who can replace the injured Jasprit Bumrah in India's Champions Trophy team, Feat: Mohammed Siraj

Australia has suffered a massive blow ahead of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. As per the reports in ESPNCricinfo, it is learned that captain Pat Cummins and Josh Hazlewood are all set to be ruled out of the tournament, which will begin on 19th February. 
Pat Cummins suffered an ankle injury during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 and missed the ongoing Test tour to injury due to the same and also the birth of his second child. The fast bowler since then has been out of action and hasn't resumed any kind of bowling. 
Pat Cummins hasn't gained his full fitness and it is highly likely that he will be missing the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. This will be a massive blow as not only will they miss the quality bowler but also the captain, who took them to win the ICC World Cup 2023. 
In the absence of Pat Cummins, Australia is likely to give the leadership role to either Travis Head or Steve Smith. The latter has been leading the team in the ongoing Test series against Sri Lanka, and under his leadership, Australia won the first game of the series by a massive margin. 
The development was confirmed by Australia head coach Andrew McDonald, saying that Pat Cummins is highly likely to be unavailable. He also talked about giving leadership roles to Steve Smith and Travis Head. Speaking to SEN, he said:
"Pat Cummins hasn't been able to resume any type of bowling so he's heavily unlikely, so that would mean that we do need a captain. Steve Smith and Travis Head are the two that we've been having conversations with while we've been building out that Champions Trophy team along with Pat back home. They'll be the two that we look at for that leadership post." 
<h2>Josh Hazlewood is expected to be ruled out of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025</h2>
Apart from Pat Cummins, star pacer Josh Hazlewood also is expected to be ruled out of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. The fast bowler is battling with a hip issue, which he faced in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. He, too, hasn't bowled since then and is against time to recover. 
His absence could be a big blow as well as he has been one of the consistent players for the team. Pat Cummins, along with Hazlewood, are now among the three Australia players to be ruled out of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. Earlier, Mitchell Marsh was ruled out of the tournament.
