Pakistan is now ranked fifth in the International Cricket Council (ICC) Test table after climbing up one position following their 2-0 win over Bangladesh.

According to information provided by the ICC, the series-win earned Pakistan one ratings point, putting it at par with Sri Lanka on 99 points. However, Pakistan has been placed above Sri Lanka after the ratings were calculated beyond the decimal point. This is the team’s best ranking since March 2009 when it had reached fifth for a brief period.

Pakistan now trail fourth-ranked Australia, who go into a four-Test series against India next week, by four points. Currently, the only way Pakistan can move into fourth position is if Australia suffer a whitewash India’s hands.

Pakistan’s next Test assignment is against top-ranked England. The three-Test series will start in the UAE on January 17. England lead Pakistan by 26 ratings points.
