Babar Azam, captain of Pakistan’s white-ball teams, has risen to 11th position in the latest Test rankings. Criticism about Babar’s form against Bangladesh in recent times has been ongoing, but he has managed to grab a spot in the ICC Test rankings. Scoring 712 rating points, his performance is still a wonder to reckon with. His consistency and skill have paid off, earning him a spot among the top Test batsmen in the world, which is a reflection of his hard work and dedication.

Mohammad Rizwan, too, has been creating waves as he breaks into the top 10 in the Test rankings. Climbing to 9th position for the first time in his career with 720 rating points, his rise vindicates his performances. The recent innings that he had against Bangladesh-innings of 171 from 239 deliveries in the first innings and 51 from 80 in the second Test-had been instrumental. Needless to say, Rizwan is doing something right with his batting capabilities.

Shaheen Afridi Climbs, Shakeel Drops

On the bowling side, the good news is that Shaheen Afridi is back in business. Afridi secured a spot at number 10 in the Test bowling rankings with 709 rating points and has been a major highlight for Pakistan. His key wickets and match-winning spells have come at an essential time for Pakistan, and this ranking clearly reflects his contribution to the success of the team.

At the same time as some of Pakistan’s best have risen, others have fallen. Saud Shakeel drops to 21st position on 661 rating points and Salman Agha falls to 32nd on 606 rating points. A reflection of just how fierce a competition these rankings are, and how one poor performance can set you back down the ladder.

Pakistan’s Cricket Stars Shine

The rise of Babar Azam, Mohammad Rizwan, and Shaheen Afridi in the latest ICC Test rankings is so far good news for Pakistan cricket. Performing well helps not just their individual careers but also strengthens Pakistan’s standing in international cricket. All this progress is a source of pride for fans and motivates the team to continue performing well.

The bowling charts have also moved, with India’s Ravichandran Ashwin at the top. He has performed brilliantly to attain this top ranking, while Josh Hazlewood and Jasprit Bumrah are jointly ranked second. This just goes a long way in showing that the race is competitive and continuous performances affect rankings.

Conclusion

In all, the rise of Babar Azam, Mohammad Rizwan, and Shaheen Afridi is something big for Pakistan cricket in the latest ICC Test rankings. The brilliant performances of all these players and their rising rankings are a testament to their skills and hard work. While each of them rises higher in the rankings, they are also serving Pakistan by adding valuable assets to their cricket. More exciting performances by them are awaited, with many hopes for continued success on the international stage.
