After drawing the Test series 1-1 against Australia, the Bangladesh cricket team took a big leap in the ICC Test rankings, leaving Pakistan behind.
Bangladesh has moved up three places in the ICC Test team rankings after a historic two-Test tour of Australia to reach a career-best sixth position, leaving Sri Lanka and Pakistan behind.
Bangladesh is sixth in the ICC Test team rankings, while Sri Lanka is seventh and Pakistan is eighth.
Australia continues to occupy the first position, South Africa is second and New Zealand is third. India is fourth while England is fifth.
It should be noted that Bangladesh began their tour of Australia by defeating the host team by nine wickets in the first Test. This was Bangladesh’s first Test victory on Australian soil.
However, Australia staged a stunning comeback in the second and final Test, defeating Bangladesh by an innings and 51 runs to level the series 1-1.
On the other hand, Pakistan suffered a humiliating defeat to hosts England in the first Test match of the three-match series.
