Jasprit Bumrah Remains Top-ranked Test Bowler In ICC Rankings
Captain Najmul Hossain Shanto: Zimbabwe’s historic three-wicket win over Bangladesh in the first Test at Sylhet has rewritten parts of the ICC Men’s Test Player Rankings. Leading the charge is pace sensation Blessing Muzarabani, whose nine-wicket match haul not only earned him the Player of the Match award but also catapulted him into elite company among Test bowlers.
With a new career-best rating of 705 points, Muzarabani became only the second Zimbabwean bowler in history to breach the 700-point mark in Test cricket—a rare feat that places him firmly in the top bracket. His effort lifted him four places to 15th in the latest ICC Test bowling rankings. Only India's Jasprit Bumrah continues to reign supreme at the top of the list.
Adding to Zimbabwe’s celebration, left-arm spinner Wellington Masakadza made a memorable return to the Test arena after more than two years. Masakadza picked up five wickets in the Sylhet Test and re-entered the Test bowling rankings in joint 68th place.
