2024's test calendar has ended with Australia going one-up with one to play in their series against India; South Africa shaving a home win in their first game against Pakistan; and Zimbabwe playing out a high-scoring (and rather boring draw) against their visitors Afghanistan. My world ratings now look like this:
- Australia 260 +12
- South Africa 180 +9
- India 178 -12
- England 171
- New Zealand 148
- Sri Lanka 73
- Pakistan 41 -8
- West Indies -39
- Bangladesh -81
- Ireland -300
- Zimbabwe -305 -9
- Afghanistan -334 +9
Broadly speaking, not much has changed over the course of the year. England, down 53, are the biggest losers; and Ireland, who won two test matches, the biggest gainers; but the overall pecking order has not changed by that much. The 2025 season begins in just a few days, with the next (and final) game in all three current series.
