India off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin
dethroned Pakistan's Yasir Shah to top the International Cricket
Council's (ICC) Test rankings after his match-winning display against
West Indies in the first Test.
The 29-year-old picked up
figures of 7-83 in the second innings as the visitors cruised to an
innings-and-92 runs victory inside four days in Antigua.
Leg
spinner Yasir, who became the first Pakistani bowler in 20 years to top
the Test rankings, dropped to fifth after managing just one wicket in
the second test defeat against England at Old Trafford.
Ashwin,
who also tops the all-rounders ranking, is followed by England's James
Anderson and Stuart Broad, who both moved up one place respectively.
Joe
Root's magnificent 254 in the 330-run victory against Pakistan has
helped him move into the second place in the Test rankings for batsmen,
behind Australian Steve Smith, who retains top spot.
England's
Test skipper Alastair Cook, also moved back into the top 10 at ninth
place on the back of a century and an unbeaten 76 in the second Test.
