Top-ranked Australia and second-ranked India will have to complete comprehensive wins in their upcoming away Test series against Sri Lanka and the West Indies, respectively, to not lose crucial points in the ICC team rankings.
The West Indies will host India in a four-Test series starting in Antigua on Thursday while Australia will go head to head with Sri Lanka in Pallekele from 26 July in a three-Test series.
Meanwhile, India off-spinner R. Ashwin will be gunning for the bowlers rankings with Pakistan leg-spinner Yasir Shah leading the charts following a 10-wicket haul in the Lord’s Test that ended on Sunday. Yasir is seven points ahead of Ashwin with three more matches to go against England. One will have to wait and see how long the two can continue the rare occurrence of two spinners at the top.
