Cricket World Ratings 26th November 2025

The last month of test cricket has seen quite a bit of action. Two series have favoured the home teams: Bangladesh beat Ireland twice, heavily, while Australia won the first Ashes test with a Bazball-style comeback. More noteable has been the touring South Africans securing two big victories in India. Australia's rating is now the highest it's been since 2008.  South Africa's has never been higher. But India were last this low in 2016, and England's rating is their lowest since Bazball begun in 2022. The detail is as follows:

1. Australia     296  +7 
2. South Africa  262 +49
