Sports Desk- The Bangladesh Women’s cricket team has achieved a significant milestone by overtaking Pakistan to secure the 7th spot in the latest ICC Women’s ODI Rankings.
The International Cricket Council (ICC) released its annual rankings update, which accounts for 100% of performance since May 2021 and 50% from the previous two years.
Tigresses Rise to 7th Place
With a current rating of 73, the Tigresses moved up one spot from 8th to 7th, pushing Pakistan (72 rating points) down to the 8th position. The top six positions in the women’s ODI rankings remains unchanged:
-
1st: Australia

Men’s Test Rankings Update
The Bangladesh Men’s team remains in 9th place in the Test rankings, though their rating improved by 4 points to reach 67.
In the upper tier of Test cricket, Australia (131) and South Africa (119) continue to lead the table. India moved up to 3rd place with 104 rating points, while England dropped to 4th with 102.
New Zealand holds the 5th spot. Notably, Pakistan climbed to 6th place, while Sri Lanka slipped to 7th. Zimbabwe remains in 10th place.
Due to failing to play the required eight matches during the rating period, Ireland and Afghanistan have been removed from the Test rankings list.
They must play at least two more Tests within the next year to be re-included.
