India lost the top spot in the latest ICC Test rankings announced yesterday. Australia at No.1 and Nz at No. 2.
India yielded the top spot in Test rankings for the first time since October 2016 but continue to lead the ICC World Test Championship League.
India dropped to 3rd largely because the record of 12 Tests victories and just one Test defeat in 2016-17 was removed from the latest calculations. Indian team had won all 5 series during that period including against Aus and Eng. On the other hand, Australia had lost to South Africa and India during that period.
India have retained their 2nd spot in the ICC ODI rankings
Pakistan have lost the No. 1 T20I spot to Australia

Somerset who had signed a Kolpak deal with Vernon Philander has decided to cancel the contract due to Chinese Flu pandemic.
Philander was due to join Somerset early in April but now will not play for the club this season. As there will be no professional cricket in England and Wales until July 1 at the earliest. So, Philander and Somerset have mutually decided to cancel the contract.
