Test cricket resumed with Bangladesh’s two-match series against Sri Lanka. Bangladesh’s Liton Das and Sri Lanka’s veteran Angelo Mathews have made valuable gains in the ICC Men’s Test rankings after the drawn Test.
However, at the top of the rankings list, there has been no change, with Marnus Labuschagne still topping the list for batters, with Indian skipper Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli finding themselves at eight and tenth place respectively.
