New Zealand begun their tour of England with a loss and the retirement of their star batsman Kevin Williamson. They've ended it with a 2-1 series victory. Sri Lanka have not been so successful their tour of the West Indies, losing one game and drawing the other. In the meantime, Zimbabwe have also won a rare victory, defeating Bangladesh. My world ratings now look like this:
- Australia 282
- South Africa 262
- New Zealand 190 +37
- India 157
- England 112 -37
- Sri Lanka 22 -20
- Pakistan -19
- West Indies -26 +20
- Bangladesh -83 -34
- Zimbabwe -281 +34
- Ireland -292 -3
- Afghanistan -324
And the official ratings look like this:
- Australia 131
- South Africa 119
- New Zealand 106 +4
- India 104
- England 99 -3
- Sri Lanka 76 -10
- Pakistan 75
- West Indies 74 +6
- Bangladesh 73 -5
- Zimbabwe 17 +7
Bangladesh had recently been at an all time high in both ratings but their loss to Zimbabwe has knocked them back. England's rating in my rankings is now their lowest since 2022. Pakistan travel to the West Indies to play the next test as the end of month.
