Pakistan all-rounder Agha Salman has made a massive leap in the latest ICC Test rankings following his standout performances in the ongoing three-match series against England. 

Salman climbed eight places, now sitting at 14th with 684 rating points. His impressive rise highlights his growing influence in Pakistan's Test setup.

In contrast, former skipper Babar Azam and wicketkeeper Mohammad Rizwan experienced significant drops. Babar fell four spots from 15th to 19th, now holding 677 rating points, following underwhelming performances in the shorter format. Rizwan also slid, landing at 21st with 669 rating points.

Saud Shakeel, another Pakistani batter, dropped seven places, now ranking 27th with 642 points. Abdullah Shafique has also seen a dip, dropping to 43rd with 548 points.

On the bowling front, Pakistan's pace spearhead Shaheen Afridi retained his 14th place with 674 rating points. Spinners Noman Ali and Sajid Khan, who were pivotal in Pakistan's second Test win, made notable strides. Noman is now 17th with 677 rating points, while Sajid jumped 22 spots, reaching 50th with 387 points.

Across the rankings, there has been a shuffle near the top, particularly with India and New Zealand players. India’s Rishabh Pant made a remarkable return, climbing three places to 6th in the Test batter rankings. His scores of 20 and 99 against New Zealand have moved him ahead of teammate Virat Kohli, who now sits tied for 8th.

England’s Joe Root continues to dominate as the top-ranked Test batter, while Yashasvi Jaiswal (4th), Pant (6th), and Kohli (8th) represent India in the top 10.

For New Zealand, Rachin Ravindra surged 36 places to 18th, and Devon Conway climbed to 36th. On the bowling side, Matt Henry's eight-wicket haul against India propelled him to 9th, a career-high ranking.
