ICC World Test Championship: Bangladesh players have made big gains in the latest men's Test player rankings following their memorable 104-run victory over Pakistan in the opening Test at Mirpur.

Bangladesh’s first win of the ongoing ICC World Test Championship cycle was a historic victory, propelled by a host of outstanding individual performances, at the forefront of which was captain Najmul Hossain Shanto.

Shanto, who was named Named Player of the Match, hammered his ninth Test century in the first innings and followed it up with a vital 87 in the second innings. The performance helped him to move up 16 places in the latest ICC rankings for Test batters to a new career-best position of joint 23rd.
