The latest rankings show changes among several teams, with Sri Lanka moving to seventh place and England retaining fifth position. India are currently preparing for their upcoming two-match Test series against New Zealand, which will also have implications for their position in the World Test Championship (WTC) 2025-27 standings.
West Indies won the two-match Test series against Bangladesh 1-0. Following the series victory, the Caribbean side moved up from eighth to sixth in the ICC Test rankings.
According to the rankings updated on November 9, 2026, West Indies have 2,339 points and a rating of 78. Bangladesh, meanwhile, have dropped from sixth to eighth position, with 2,038 points and a rating of 73.
The result has also affected Sri Lanka's position. Sri Lanka are now seventh with a rating of 75, while England remain fifth with a rating of 102.
India are currently ranked fourth in the ICC Test team rankings, with 3,042 points and a rating of 105. New Zealand occupy third place with a rating of 106, leaving a one-point difference between the two teams.
South Africa are ranked first in the world, with 2,860 points and a rating of 124. Australia are second with 3,787 points and a rating of 122.
ICC Test rankings are determined by team ratings rather than total points alone. This explains why Australia, despite having more total points, are ranked below South Africa.
The second Test between Bangladesh and West Indies was played in Sylhet from November 5 to 9. The match ended in a draw, but West Indies secured the series 1-0 after winning the opening Test by eight wickets.
West Indies scored 356 in their first innings. Bangladesh responded with 386, taking a 30-run lead. Towhid Hridoy scored an unbeaten 242.
West Indies declared their second innings at 398 for six, setting Bangladesh a target of 369 runs. On the final day, Bangladesh had scored 184 for four when play was abandoned due to bad light.
Towhid Hridoy scored 82 in the second innings, while Mushfiqur Rahim contributed 49 runs.
West Indies spinner Jomel Warrican finished as the leading wicket-taker in the series, claiming 16 wickets across the two Tests. He was named Player of the Series.
Warrican took nine wickets in the first Test, putting Bangladesh's batting under pressure. He also delivered an effective bowling performance in the second match, during which he completed 100 wickets in Test cricket.
Towhid Hridoy was named Player of the Match in the second Test for his batting performance. He scored a combined 324 runs across both innings.
India are currently fourth in the World Test Championship 2025-27 points table. The team have played 11 Test matches so far, winning five, losing four and drawing two.
India have accumulated 68 points, with a points percentage of 51.52.
New Zealand lead the standings with a points percentage of 72.22. South Africa are second with 71.43%, while Australia occupy third place with 69.23%.
West Indies are in a different position in the two tables. Although they have moved up to sixth in the ICC Test rankings, they are eighth in the WTC points table. This is because the ICC Test rankings and the WTC standings are calculated using different methods.
India's next assignment is a two-match Test series against New Zealand scheduled for this month.
The first Test will begin on November 19 in Wellington, followed by the second match in Christchurch from November 27.
New Zealand currently lead the WTC 2025-27 standings and are also ranked one place above India in the ICC Test team rankings.
