India’s Ravindra Jadeja edged out Bangladesh’s Shakib A Hasan in the Test all-rounder rankings to claim top spot.

Ravindra Jadeja has 438 points while Shakib Al hasan is on 431. Jadeja also holds pole position in the bowlers’ chart after the latest ICC rankings.

Jadeja scored 70 not out against Sri Lanka in the first innings of the second Test and then finished them off with a five wicket haul that led India to the series victory.

Shakib remains the top all-rounder in ODI and T20 formats and will get a chance to reclaim the top spot in Test all-rounder rankings from Jadeja when Australia visits Bangladesh for a two-Test series.

England’s Moeen Ali has crossed the 400-points mark after his contribution to England’s cause helped them attain a series victory against South Africa.

Moeen Ali finished the series against South Africa with career-best rankings as a batsman, bowler and all-rounder after another stellar show in the fourth and final Test.

Moeen Ali 14 and 75 not out in the fourth Test helped him attain a career-best 21st position among batsmen. He also picked up seven wickets with a 5/69 in the second innings to reach 18th position among bowlers.
