Observer Online Report

Bangladesh have slipped two places to eighth in the latest Test rankings following their 1-0 series defeat to the West Indies, failing to retain their highest-ever position of sixth.

The Najmul Hossain Shanto-led side had climbed to sixth for the first time after securing a historic Test victory on Australian soil. However, they have now dropped to eighth with 73 rating points.

The West Indies, meanwhile, have climbed two places to sixth, replacing Bangladesh with 78 rating points.

There were no other changes in the rankings. South Africa, the reigning World Test Championship champions, remain at the top with 124 rating points, followed by Australia with 122 points.

New Zealand and India occupy the third and fourth positions respectively, while England are fifth.

Bangladesh suffered a comprehensive eight-wicket defeat in the opening Test in Mirpur. They needed a victory in the second match to level the series but failed to do so, as the Sylhet Test ended in a draw.
