ICC WTC Points Table: The 2nd test of the two-match test series between India and West Indies ended in a Draw. Rain completely washed out Day 5 which not only saved West Indies from defeat but also dragged India from first to second spot in the ICC WTC Points table 2023-25. We will walk you through ICC WTC Points Table Updated after India vs West Indies 2nd Test in this article.



<div class="wp-block-rank-math-toc-block" id="rank-math-toc"><nav><ul><li class=""><a href="#icc-wtc-points-table-latest-updated">ICC WTC Points Table Latest Updated</a></li></ul></nav></div>



Rohit and Co. possibly could have taken straight 24 points and 100% percentage points but rain ruined the plans of team India. As a result, India was able to get 16 points and 66.67% percentage points from their first series of the World Test Championship 2023-25.



After winning the first Test by an innings and 141 runs in Dominica, India was once again the much stronger team in the second Test. On Day 4, the Windies finished at 76/2, which meant they needed 289 more runs to win (Target 365), whereas India needed additional 8 wickets to win, however not a single ball was bowled on Day 5 and the match was called off.



Nevertheless, the game at Queen's Park Oval will be remembered in the record as Virat Kohli's 500th international match. In addition, he further strengthened its significance by scoring his 29th century in Tests and 76th overall. Had India won the game, it could have been the perfect ending.



Even though India won the series 1-0, the second game might prove to be critical and might damage India's prospects of reaching the WTC Final for the third time in a row. India would have earned 12 points with a victory but got just 4 with a draw. Therefore, rain prevented India from gaining 8 points in particular.



Though missing the points can hurt now, there is still a lot of time left, and a lot more bilateral series are still left to play. Therefore, it would be interesting to see how India progresses.



Not only India suffered damage due to rain but also England. The fourth Manchester Test was marred by rain, which caused the last day to be called off without a ball being bowled. Australia, the defending World Test Champions, are up 2-1 in the five-match series. They are currently at 3rd position in the WTC Points Table but will be in a good position if they win the last Test. Australia will play Pakistan at home in December and January 2023 following the Ashes.

ICC WTC Points Table Updated after India vs West Indies 2nd Test | ICC World Test Championship 2023-25

icc-wtc-points-table-updated-after-india-vs-west-indies-2nd-test-icc-world-test-championship-2023-25

ICC WTC Points Table Updated: Bangladesh is set to lock horns against New Zealand in the two-game test series starting tomorrow (November 28). The NZ vs BAN 1st Test will be held at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium. 



While most of the other teams have already begun their World Test Championship (WTC) campaigns, New Zealand and Bangladesh are two of the three teams that haven't yet kickstarted theirs. The likes of India, Pakistan, West Indies, Australia, Sri Lanka and England are already off the mark.



New Zealand's tour of Bangladesh 2023 includes three ODIs and two game test series. While New Zealand have convincingly won the ODI series 2-0, they will fancy their chances in the Test series as well in the spin-friendly conditions.



The Kiwis will brace themselves to continue their dominating run against Bangladesh, who have not managed to go past New Zealand in the test series so far. Twice the test series has been drawn, including the one held in 2021/22. But the Bangla Tigers will aim to go past the winning rope this time.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">ICC World Test Championship (WTC) Points Table</h2>



Talking about the WTC rankings, Pakistan has so far claimed a 100 per cent winning record in the two games they have played in the ongoing cycle. Second-placed are the Indians, who have a 66.67 winning percentage, after playing a test series against West Indies. 



Australia is ranked third in the ICC WTC Points table with 30 per cent winning followed by West Indies (16.67 per cent), England (15 per cent) and Sri Lanka (0.00 per cent).



The remaining three teams - New Zealand, Bangladesh and South Africa - are yet to play a test match after the completion of the last World Test Championship cycle which was clinched by Australia.

ICC WTC Points Table Updated after AUS vs WI 1st Test: A big win for Australia against the visitors West Indies in the first test of the West Indies Tour of Australia. With another 12 match points and positive changes in the PCT points, Australia have strengthened their Number spot in the updated ICC WTC Points table 2023-25. This post will lead you to the latest updated ICC WTC Points table after AUS vs WI 1st Test.

A clinical 10-wicket victory in a game wrapped up in three days reflects the dominance of Australia on their home soil. Even without the services of David Warner, the Australian line-up never looked missing him. West Indies are on a tour of Australia where they are scheduled to play 2 test matches and then two white ball series.



Winning the toss, Pat Cummins opted to bowl first and didn't have to do much hard work for the first wicket. Skipper Kraigg Brathwaite also seemed clueless against the Australian bowling arsenal and went for cheap. Kirk McKenzie's 50 and Shamar Joseph's 36 are the only innings that crossed the 20-run mark and the rest of the batter didn't even cross 17 runs. Cummins and Hazlewood shared 4-4 wickets and wrapped up the first innings of West Indies in just 188 runs.

Batting second, Australia also lost new opener Steve Smith within 10 overs and Labuschagne under 50 runs. Travis Head had a fabulous 2023 and it seems like he is going to have an even better 2024 as he again smashed a test hundred with a strike rate of ~90. Following his hundred and small but important contributions from the lower order, Australia took a good 95-run lead in the first innings. Medium pacer Justin Greaves came out as the most economical bowler for West Indies and Shamar Joseph took a fifer.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/01/shamar-Joseph-1.jpg" alt="ICC WTC Points Table Updated after AUS vs WI 1st Test | Australia-India At Top | ICC World Test Championship 2023-25" class="wp-image-125389" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Joseph Took his first Fifer against Australia 
(Cricket Australia and Getty Images)</figcaption></figure>



West Indies came out to bat in the second innings and Hazlewood was all over them. He took 4 wickets in his first five overs and West Indies were 4 down for 19. West Indies lost 8 wickets to chase down the trail where Josh Hazlewood took a fifer. West Indies were all out for 120 runs and Australia needed 26 to win the test.



Australia took 40 balls to win the test match by 10 wickets. Usman Khawaja ate a blow on his jaw when Australia was just 1 run behind the victory but Marnus Labuschagne got the winning run.



With this win, Australia now have 66 points and 61.11 PTC points after 9 matches and hence lead the WTC standings. Following them are India. With two wins, one loss, and a draw, India have 54.16 PTC points after 4 matches.



West Indies played a draw against India in July-August and have lost the other two tests. Hence, they are placed 9th with 11.11 PCT points.

Australia, the Defending Champions of the ICC World Test Championship are present at first position in the ICC WTC Points Table 2023-25.

ICC WTC Points Table Updated after IND vs ENG 1st Test: In what proved to be a really exciting and nail-biting fixture, England, led by Ben Stokes riding on the back of heroics from Ollie Pope (196 runs) and debutant Tom Hartley (7-62) defeated the Rohit Sharma-led Men in Blue by 28 runs. This was India?s fourth defeat in 48 test matches at home as the Three Lions executed the biggest comeback on Indian soil by a visiting team. A win in the first test means that England now has a 1-0 lead in the five-match Test Series.



Chasing a fourth-inning score of 231 runs, debutant Tom Hartley (7-62) tore apart the entire Indian batting unit with his seven-wicket haul, which included the big dismissals of Indian skipper Rohit Sharma, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Axar Patel, Shubman Gill Ravinchandran Ashwin, Ks Bharat, and Mohammed Siraj as the Men in Blue were bowled out for just 202 runs. Men in Blue Skipper Rohit Sharma was the top scorer for the Indians with 39 runs, while Ashwin (28 runs) and KS Bharat (28 runs) stabilized the Indian innings with a fifty-run partnership for the eighth wicket, but Tom Hartley had some other plans.



England youngster Ollie Pope (196 runs) played one of the best innings in the history of the game by a visiting player on Indian soil, and his knock helped the Three Lions post a massive total of 420 runs on the board. Vice Captain Jasprit Bumrah (4-41) was the best Indian bowler with his four-wicket haul.



The visitors won the toss and chose to bat first, but they had a forgetful day 1 as they were all out for 246 runs, with skipper Ben Stokes playing the role of the lone warrior with his knock of 70 runs. Ravindra Jadeja (3-88) and Ravichandran Ashwin (3-68) took three wickets each, while Jasprit Bumrah (2-28) and Axar Patel (2-33) got two scalps each.



In reply, the Indians got off to a really good start as Yashasvi Jaiswal played his own version of Bazball against the English bowlers with his stunning knock of 80 runs. Ravindra Jadeja (87 runs) and KL Rahul (86 runs) allowed the hosts to take a 190-run lead in the first inning with a total of 436 runs on the board.



The defeat against England in the first test match is India?s second defeat at home in a test match in the last year. The Men in Blue have not managed to taste success in their last three home test matches, as one game against Australia ended in a draw. Below is the updated ICC World Test Championship table after the 1st Test match between India and England.

The defending champions, Australia, are still at the top of the overall standings with a PCT of 55.00. Sri Lanka are still at the bottom of the overall WTC points table with a PCT of 0.00, as they have yet to win their first match in the current cycle. South Africa is now in the second spot in the overall standings with a PCT of 50.00. They have won one game and lost one game in the two matches they have played so far.



India, following their defeat against England, have dropped from the second position to fifth in the points table with a PCT of 43.33. In five matches, the Men in Blue have tasted success in two, while they have been defeated by England and South Africa in the other two games, and one match against the Windies ended in a draw.



Kane Williamson-led New Zealand is in the third position in the overall standings with a PCT of 50.00. Just like South Africa, the Kiwi?s have won one game and lost the other one against Bangladesh.



Bangladesh has moved to the fourth position with a PCT of 50.00. They have won and lost the same number of games as New Zealand and South Africa.



The sixth position is occupied by Pakistan, as they have a PCT of 36.66 from five matches. They have won two games and lost the other three, as they lost the three-match series against Australia 3-0.



Following their historic victory against Australia at the Gabba, the West Indies have moved up to the seventh spot with a PCT of 33.33 in four games.



England?s win against the Men in Blue in the first test match at Hyderabad increased their overall PCT from 15.00 to 29.16, but they are still in the eighth position in the WTC standings.



The second test match between India and England will take place on February 2 and will go on until February 6. The Three Lions are ahead in the five-match series by 1-0, but four matches are still left, and it remains to be seen whether they can repeat their heroics of 2012 or not.

(18 FEB) ICC WTC Points Table: India are bossing England in the Test and they have defeated the visitors England in the 3rd Test by a gigantic number of 434 runs. Following this win, India are again in the top two of the World Test Championship Points table replacing Australia and here we are with the ICC WTC Points Table Updated after IND vs ENG 3rd Test.

India's future of Cricket is in the safe hands as young players like Yashasvi Jaiswal and Sarfaraz Khan are charming above the entire team in the record win over England. Yashasvi Jaiswal has been England's absolute nightmare in the series as in just 6 innings, he has smashed two double-hundreds and a half-century. He has equaled the record of most sixes in a series with Wasim Akram after hitting 22 sixes and there are still 4 innings to come.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="ind-vs-eng-3rd-test-review">IND vs ENG 3rd Test Review</h2>



India and England were headed to Rajkot with an even scoreline after Hyderabad and Vishakhapatnam for the third test. India winning the toss, opted to bat first. Raw pace from Mark Wood proved to be dangerous for India as he scalped Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shubman Gill in back-to-back overs. Tom Hartley removed Patidar and India were 3 down for 33 runs. 



Skipper Rohit Sharma and Ravindra Jadeja stitched a reviving partnership and pulled India out of the well. Rohit Sharma smashed his much-awaited century and so does Jadeja. Debutant Sarfaraz Khan was too good on the pitch and smashed the English bowler all around the park to reach his 50 in his debut. Dhruv Jurel and Ashwin also contributed with good runs and with 26 runs from Bumrah, India ended at 445 runs in the first innings.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/02/Rohit-Sharma-Ravindra-Jadeja-1024x682.jpg" alt="IND vs ENG 3rd Test: Rohit Sharma loses his cool after Ravindra Jadeja Runs Out Sarfaraz Khan: Video" class="wp-image-126654" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Image: BCCI</figcaption></figure>



England got a good flowing start and they started with some attacking intent. Ashwin drew the first blood and removed Crawley. Ben Duckett had some other plans but he wasn't getting enough support from the other end. Nevertheless, he scored a befitting 153 off 151 which took England to a respectable total even after the regular wickets. Mohammed Siraj was too good in the middle overs and took 4 wickets to conclude England's innings to 319 runs. 



India had a lead of 126 runs after the first innings. The second innings of India started with Rohit Sharma taking on England but he missed on a sweep and Root got the first wicket of the innings. Jaiswal started the assault and Shubman held the second end and Jaiswal reached his century in no time. Gill got run out at 91 following a mix-up but Jaiswal was too good for England and scored his second test double hundred with 14 boundaries and 12 sixes.

Sarfraz Khan again smashed a quick half-century and just after that skipper Rohit Sharma decided to declare the innings and now India were 557 runs ahead of England and England had four and a half sessions to chase the target.



For the first time in the series, England's openers were looking very cautious but Ben Duckett got run out after a miscommunication. England lost their first wicket in 15 runs, second at 18 runs, third at 20, and fourth at 28 and the wickets kept falling. First Jadeja and then Kuldeep, the England batting was not ready for this collapse but it was meant to happen. Jadeja took a fifer at the end and India won the game by a huge total of 434 runs.

ICC WTC Points Table Updated after IND vs ENG 3rd Test | India Take Second Position | ICC World Test Championship 2023-25

ICC WTC Points Table: Sri Lanka bagged their series-clinching win against Bangladesh in the two-match test series by a massive 192 runs at the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium in Chattogram. Led by Dhananjaya de Silva, Sri Lanka swept Bangladesh comprehensively and subsequently made significant advancements in the ICC WTC Points Table.



The Lankan Lions are now placed fourth in the ICC WTC Points Table following the massive 192-run win over Bangladesh, a few hours ago, but more of that later in the article.



Though Bangladesh managed to pull things back in control in the third innings of the second test, their first-innings deficit against Sri Lanka proved to be the turning point. 



Sri Lanka had racked up a gigantic score of 531 runs in the first innings before getting bowled out. Bangladesh, in response, couldn't score more than 178 runs.



Despite having the opportunity to enforce a follow-on, Sri Lanka batted again in the third innings and added 157 runs to their 357 runs first innings lead. The visitors now had a total of 511 runs against their name to defend in the final innings of the SL vs BAN fixture.



Bangladesh fought hard in the final innings, however, the task was perhaps herculean to be chased down in the fourth innings. The hosts added 318 runs in their fight back with Mehidy Hasan Miraz being the key stakeholder with his unbeaten 81-run knock of 110 deliveries. 



Despite a superb effort from the entire Bangladeshi outfit in the last innings, they fell 192 runs short of the target and thereby lost the second SL vs BAN test as well.



Let's now take a look at the ICC WTC Points Table Updated After SL vs BAN 2nd Test 2024| ICC World Test Championship 2023-25 Standings.

Prithvi Shaw did not find any takers as the Mumbai batter went unsold in the IPL 2025 auction. Prithvi, who had a base price of Rs 75 lakh in the auction, was released by Delhi Capitals but he did not attract any bids from the ten franchises.
Delhi Capitals co-owner Parth Jindal has said that Prithvi Shaw is misunderstood in many ways but needed a 'jolt' in the form of the IPL 2025 Auction snub. Shaw has been part of the Delhi franchise since returning as the U-19 World Cup winning captain in 2018 and was bought for 1.2 Crores. Ahead of the 2022 auction, the Mumbai batter was retained by DC for Rs. 7.5 Crore but the past few seasons hasn't been great for the 25-year-old.
Speaking to Sports Today, Jindal said that Shaw is a great kid but needed a jolt to get up from his slumber. The DC co-owner feels that Shaw needs to work hard, get back the love of the game and get disciplined. Jindal ended by saying he hopes the Mumbai batter can return back to his best form
Delhi has backed Prithvi Shaw a lot. DC had hoped that he is a powerplay player and would hit 6 boundaries in one over. And he did that too. He hit Shivam Mavi for 6 fours in an over. He had a lot of potential and DC backed him to the hilt. We always thought that if Shaw manages to score, we will win. And we gave him a lot of chances," Kaif told on Jio Cinema.

Prithvi got a lot of chances and teams have now finally moved on, and it is a matter of embarrassment that he did not get a bid for Rs 75 lakh. Maybe now, he finally goes back to basics. Someone like Sarfaraz Khan got into the national team by scoring lots and lots of runs," he concluded.
In the 79 matches he has played, Shaw has scored 1892 runs at an average of 23.95 and a strike-rate of 147.47. He also scored 14 fifties during this time.

Prithvi shaw is just 25 and has lot of cricket left inside him ,the thing he need that to focus on his fitness and batting weakness. 
If the things goes well, not the next year but shaw will probably get chance to play in IPL this year too,if any team needs replacement for player ,he might be a good to get that place.

The MI Emirates produced a clinical display with the bat and the ball, handing the Abu Dhabi Knight Riders a 28-run defeat at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in the Match 14 of International League T20 (ILT20) 2025 on Tuesday, January 21.
MI Emirates got off to a strong start when they were asked to bat first, with openers Muhammad Waseem (38) and Kusal Perera making a strong stand at the top. The Sri Lankan Perera was the first to leave for 23 soon before the powerplay ended, following a 42-run partnership between the two players. Tom Banton entered, and he and Waseem made sure the MI Emirates maintained the run rate.
Banton was out for nine around the halfway point of the innings, while Waseem was out for 38 shortly after. Kieron Pollard replaced skipper Nicholas Pooran, but the seasoned right-hander struggled to get going and was eventually sent out for five by Ali Khan. With just over 6 overs remaining, the score was at 102/4.
Following Dan Mousley's dismissal for six, Romario Shepherd joined his skipper for the innings' last stretch. Jason Holder made a solid 49, but Pooran, who was hitting it cleanly, was almost at his half-century before he fell.
<img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202501/image_870x_6790c540e2f01.jpg" alt="">
Shepherd was given more attention in the last few overs as a result. In order to end with an undefeated 38 from 13 deliveries, the powerful right-hander then moved through the gears and hammered three maximums and four boundaries. After slowing down for a few overs in the middle, the MI Emirates eventually reached 186/6.

In second inning with openers Kyle Mayers and Andries Gous attacking the MI Emirates bowlers, the Abu Dhabi Knight Riders got off to a fast start. Before Dan Mousley ran him out with a brilliant bit of fielding, Mayers, who hit three sixes, scored 22 off 14 deliveries.
 
The MI Emirates seized control after that, finishing a 39-run partnership in the fourth over in second inning.
Following Joe Clarke's dismissal by Akeal Hosein for three, Romario Shepherd took out Michael-Kyle Pepper for five and Alishan Sharafu for four. The Abu Dhabi Knight Riders were 56/4 at the conclusion of a thrilling Powerplay.
The Abu Dhabi Knight Riders were further put under pressure after Waqar Salamkheil dismissed Laurie Evans for seven and Zahoor Khan caught Gous in the deep for thirty-four. Hopes of a recovery were raised when Sunil Narine and Andre Russell were called to the middle and embarked on a half-century stand.
But Narine was caught at cover for 13 in the 18th over, and David Willey was dismissed by Fazalhaq Farooqi in the 19th. The MI Emirates won easily, and Russell, who was still undefeated at 37 from 23 deliveries, was unable to lead his team across the finish line.

players like Romario Shepherd and Nicholas Pooran, the MI Emirates were able to close the gap on the top team to just two points.
Alzarri Joseph and Shepherd each took two wickets to thwart the Abu Dhabi Knight Riders' chase, while four of the MI Emirates' bowlers were in excellent form that evening.
In the whole match Romario Shepherd was the centre of attraction for the crowd with his bowling and batting, although the show was lasser but effective for MI Emirates to build pressure on the Abu Dhabi Knight Riders.

IND vs ENG: Former Indian cricketer Ravichandran Ashwin has announced his playing XI for the first T20I against England. The match between the two teams is all set to take place on Wednesday (22nd January) at the iconic Eden Gardens in Kolkata.
India and England will be locking horns with each other in the five-match T20I series. Both teams have a mixed combination of seniors and youngsters in the team, and with the way they have played of late, it's fair to say that it will be an exciting series to watch. 
Coming to the first T20I, Ravichandran Ashwin backed Sanju Samson and Abhishek Sharma to open the innings for the team. The duo has been doing a decent job together as an opener and would be hoping to carry on the same form in the upcoming first match. 
Sanju Samson was at his exceptional best in the T20Is last year as he slammed three tons. While on the other hand, Abhishek Sharma hasn't been able to maintain consistency. Hence the series will be extremely important for him with the bat. 
At No.3, Ravichandran Ashwin picked Tilak Varma. The left-hander oozed his class with the bat in the last series against South Africa. He batted at No.3 and slammed two back-to-back centuries. Skipper Suryakumar Yadav, as per Ashwin, will bat at No.4.
Hardik Pandya, Nitish Kumar Reddy and Axar Patel are the three all-rounders picked by Ravichandran Ashwin in his Indian XI for the first IND vs ENG T20I. They are expected to play a major role with the bat and ball. 
Rinku Singh also has been picked by Ravichandran Ashwin in his Indian XI for the first IND vs ENG team. He will be taking the role of finisher while there was no place for Ravi Bishnoi, who hard has put a foot wrong in his T20I career. Varun Chakravarthy will be there as per Ashwin. 
Mohammed Shami and Arshdeep Singh are the two fast bowlers picked by Ravichandran Ashwin for the first IND vs ENG XI. Shami will be making his comeback to the team after a year, while Arshdeep will be keen to make an impact.

Former Pakistan cricketer Basit Ali talked about the delay in the squad of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 for the Pakistan team. He said that it might look like they are scared of announcing the team, but it seems that they don't know what to do. 
The ICC Champions Trophy 2025 is around the corner and all the teams have named their squad for the tournament except the hosts Pakistan. The Men in Green are yet to announce the team even though the deadline of 12th January has already been surpassed by a long margin. 
India, Australia, England, South Africa, New Zealand, Bangladesh, and Afghanistan have all revealed their squad for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. This has made many speculate about why Pakistan isn't announcing their squad for the tournament, which is less than one month away. 
There have been several reports that Pakistan will be announcing their squad for the tournament soon. They are awaiting the fitness of a few players, and hence, they will soon be naming the team. Some reports also have revealed the players who will be playing, but an official announcement is yet to come. 
<h2>Pakistan kya darr gaya jo abhi tak team announce nahi ki? Nahi dara nahi hai. Samajh nahi aa rahi hai - Basit Ali </h2>
Amid all this, former Pakistan cricketer Basit Ali commented on the same, saying that no one knows what is happening. He speculated that they might be waiting for the fitness report on Saim Ayub. Speaking in a video posted on his YouTube channel, he explained: 
"Pakistan kya darr gaya jo abhi tak team announce nahi ki? Nahi dara nahi hai. Samajh nahi aa rahi hai -- karein to kya karein? (Is Pakistan scared to announce their squad? No, it isn't, just unsure what to do and what not). The biggest issue is whether Saim Ayub can return fit or not. It's still not clear." 
It remains to be seen when will Pakistan announce the squad for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. The tournament is all set to take place from 19th February, with the final all set to be played on 9th March.
