The International Cricket Council (ICC) has released the latest test rankings of players on Tuesday. England team all-rounder Ben Stokes has become the world's number one all-rounder in the ICC Test Rankings. Let us tell you that Ben Stokes was adjudged as the 'Man of the Match' in the second test match between England and West Indies. Stokes scored more than 250 runs and 3 wickets in the second match of the three-match Test series against the West Indies.
Ben Stokes was the No. 2 all-rounder in the ICC Test rankings prior to this match but has become the world's number one all-rounder with a strong performance with bat and ball in the Manchester Test match. Not only this, he becomes the number 3 batsman in the ICC Test rankings.
Ben Stokes, who played brilliantly in the second Test match, reached number 3 in the batting rankings for the first time in his Test career, while as an all-rounder, Ben Stokes topped it with 497 points. This is also the highest-ranking of his career. Stokes is at number one in the ICC all-rounders' Test rankings with 497 points, while Jason Holder has slipped to second place with 459 points.
Jason Holder had been the number one all-rounder for the past 18 months, but now Stokes has overtaken him. Not only this, after 2006 (Andrew Flintoff), an English player has become the number one all-rounder in the ICC Test rankings. In the batting rankings, Stokes is jointly at 3rd position with Australian player Marnus Labushagne. Both have 827 points. Prior to this match, Stokes was ranked 10th in the batsmen rankings.
