Babar Azam Slides to 6th in ICC Test Batsmen Rankings, No Bowler in Top 10

Star batsman, Babar Azam, has slipped to 6th position in the latest ICC Test Rankings following Ben Stokes’ meteoric rise. The English all-rounder has reached his career-best third position.

He has also replaced Jason Holder at the top of the all-rounders’ rankings, becoming the first from his country after Andrew Flintoff in 2006.

Stokes scored 176 and 78 and took a match-haul of three wickets in the second Test, earning him the man of the match award. The 29-year-old has 827 rating points, only behind Steven Smith (911) and Virat Kohli (886).
