DUBAI: Pakistan’s batters Mohammad Rizwan and Babar Azam have made notable gains in the latest ICC Test Batting Rankings on Wednesday.
Rizwan, who recently lost Pakistan’s ODI captaincy, played a composed 75-run knock in the first innings of the opening Test last week, helping Pakistan seal a 93-run victory and take a 1-0 lead in the series.
Although Mohammad Rizwan could only manage 14 in the second innings, his efforts were enough to earn him a four-place jump to 16th position with 684 rating points.
Meanwhile, Babar Azam also made an upward movement, rising two places to 22nd after scores of 23 and 42 in the same match.
Among other Pakistan batters, Salman Ali Agha registered a notable eight-spot surge, climbing to 30th position following consistent lower-order contributions.
However, Saud Shakeel, the team’s highest-ranked Test batter, slipped one place to 13th with 727 rating points.
There was no change in the top ten, as England’s Joe Root continues to lead the batting rankings, followed by his compatriot Harry Brook in second place.
