Off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin has managed to retain his second spot in the lastest ICC Player Rankings for Test Bowlers issued on Sunday, while no Indian features in the top 10 batsmen list.
Ashwin (871) trails England’s Stuart Broad (872) by just a point while another Englishman James Anderson has returned to the top three following his 10-wicket haul at Headingley against Sri lanka to leapfrog Yasir Shah of Pakistan and South Africa’s Dale Steyn. Anderson earned 49 points for his performance, which has put him on a career-high 854 points.
The ICC Player Rankings for Test Batsmen was being headed by Steven Smith (925), followed by England’s Joe Root (876), Kane Williamson (868), Hashim Amla (860) and veteran Pakistan batsman Younus Khan (826).
