England Stalwart Root Reclaims Top Spot In ICC Test Rankings
England batter Joe Root is back at the top of the ICC Men's Test Player Rankings after smashing a second successive century in the ongoing ICC World Test Championship series against New Zealand.
Root, who had reached within striking distance of Marnus Labuschagne after the first Test, has wrested back the top spot from the Australia batter, whom he now leads by five rating points. Root is on 897 points after his knock of 176 in the first innings of the Nottingham Test, 20 less than his highest of 917 points, according to ICC.
