    England Batters Close In On Joe Root In Test Rankings

    By IANS News May 28, 2025 • 23:32 PM View: 867
    ICC World Test Championship: A massive batting display against Zimbabwe helped three England top-order players make big gains in the ICC Men's Test Batters Rankings, moving within striking distance of the top position.

    England veteran Joe Root remains in the No.1 spot on the updated rankings for Test batters, but teammate Harry Brook has closed the gap on him to just 15 rating points following his quickfire innings of 58 in the one-off Test against Zimbabwe in Nottingham.

    Root (888 rating points) managed innings of 34 in the same match to maintain his slender advantage at the top, though Brook (873), Kane Williamson (867), Yashasvi Jaiswal (847) and Steve Smith (823) all remain within touch ahead of a busy upcoming period of Test cricket, the ICC said in a report on its official website.
