NEW DELHI: India's pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah retained his number one position in the ICC Test bowling rankings, while Pakistan spinner Noman Ali made significant gains to rise to second spot.

Noman has been rewarded for his 10-wicket haul in Pakistan's 93-run victory over South Africa in the first Test in Lahore. The left-armer now has a total of 853 rating points, trailing Bumrah by just 29 points at the top of the ICC Test bowling rankings.

Following strong performances against South Africa, three Pakistan players climbed the latest ICC Test batting rankings. Mohammad Rizwan rose four spots to 16th, Babar Azam moved up two places to 22nd, and Salman Ali Agha jumped eight places to 30th. The rankings continue to be led by England veteran Joe Root.

For South Africa, Ryan Rickelton's first-innings 71 in the opening Test propelled him into the top 50 batters for the first time, while Tony de Zorzi's century lifted him to 54th place.

This week also saw shifts in the white-ball cricket rankings, with Australian players rewarded for their win over India in the ODI series opener in Perth, and England players climbing the charts following their T20I victory against New Zealand in Christchurch.

Stand-in skipper Mitchell Marsh gains two places to improve to 42nd overall on the list for ODI batters following his Player of the Match heroics on his home ground, while teammates Josh Hazlewood (jumps six spots to move to 10th) and Mitchell Starc (up four rungs to 21st) make ground on the rankings for ODI bowlers.

India pacer Mohammed Siraj re-enters the rankings in 17th position following his first ODI appearance in more than 12 months, while Bangladesh spinner Mehidy Hasan Miraz (up six places to 18th) makes ground after his efforts against the West Indies across the last week.

England's white-ball players have been rewarded for strong performances in New Zealand, with Harry Brook gaining 18 places to move to equal 20th on the latest rankings for T20I batters and spinner Adil Rashid gains three spots to move to third on the list for T20I bowlers following the side's victory over the Black Caps in Christchurch.
