Saud, Saim climb in ICC rankings
Saud Shakeel has moved up one spot to 12th in the Test batting rankings, now holding 739 rating points.
Saim Ayub, meanwhile, has broken into the rankings at joint-83rd alongside South Africa's Marco Jansen, with both having 352 points. Aamer Jamal also shares the same position.
Mohammad Rizwan and Babar Azam have retained their respective 21st and 23rd positions, while all-rounder Salman Ali Agha has dropped three places to 37th.
Test captain Shan Masood holds firm at 48th, with Abdullah Shafique climbing one spot to 51st with 520 points. Middle-order batter Kamran Ghulam remains at 76th.
Root regains top spot
Englishman takes back top spot in ICC Men's Test Batting Rankings from compatriot following triumph over India at the Home of Cricket.
England's Joe Root has reclaimed the top spot on the ICC Men's Test Batting rankings after his stellar efforts helped the hosts to a 22-run victory over India at Lord's.
Root (888 rating points) took back the number the No.1 spot off compatriot Harry Brook (862) thanks to scores of 104 and 40, as the hosts took a 2-1 lead in the five-match series.
It's Root's eighth stint in the top spot and at 34 he is the oldest batter at No.1 since a 37-year-old Kumar Sangakkara held the position in December 2014.
Australian Steve Smith (816) also enjoyed a one-spot bump in the top 10, thanks to a gritty effort in a low-scoring affair in Jamaica against the West Indies.
Smith made 48 in the tourists' victory, with teammate Cameron Green making a 16-spot jump to 29th (619) thanks to scores of 46 and 42.
Bowlers thrived under lights with the pink ball in the Carribean, with Scott Boland's six-wicket effort in the Test (and a hat-trick) leapfrogging him to a career-best sixth spot.
His 62 Test wickets have come at just 16.53 apiece, with only George Lohmann and Sydney Barnes, who played over 110 years ago, having taken more Test wickets at a better average.
Mitchell Starc's incredible effort meanwhile didn't lead to a rankings move (remaining in 10th), though the left-armer did make ground on the nine bowlers above him, moving to 766 rating points and just one shy of Marco Jansen in ninth.
It means Australia have five bowlers in the top 10 with Pat Cummins (third) and Josh Hazlewood (fourth) remaining in their positions following the dismantling of West Indies, and with Nathan Lyon moving down a spot to eighth after making way for Boland for the match.
It gives Australia a domination in the rankings not seen since England had six bowlers in the top 12 in 1958.
West Indies quicks also relished at Sabina Park, with Shamar Joseph (up 15 spots to 14th), Justin Greaves (up 15 spots to 65th) and Alzarri Joseph (up two spots to 29th) also making moves.
At Lord's, Washington Sundar (up 12 spots to 46th) was the the most notable mover in India's meeting with England.
Bowlers were also the movers in the latest T20I Player Rankings, with players across Sri Lanka and Bangladesh making noteworthy moves.
Sri Lanka's Nuwan Thushara and Bangladesh's Rishad Hossain now sit in 16th and 17th thanks to nine and 12-spot jumps respectively, with Binura Fernando entering the top 50 for the first time with a 22-spot jump.
Dasun Shanaka made an eight-spot move to 22nd in the T20I All-Rounders, with Zimbabwe's Sikandar Raza moving two spots to 6th thanks to a quick-fire 54 not out against South Africa.

Australian cricketer Usman Khawaja continues to speak out for Palestine, urges action
Australian cricketer Usman Khawaja has once again raised his voice in support of Palestine, highlighting the ongoing violence and its devastating impact on children. The Test cricket star shared a heart-wrenching video on social media showing injured Palestinian children, condemning the atrocities in Gaza. Known for his advocacy on humanitarian issues, Khawaja's post stressed the continued suffering of innocent civilians, especially children. He urged people not to ignore the violence, sharing UNICEF's description of the situation as 'a graveyard for children.' 'Hard to watch... Imagine living it,' Khawaja wrote, expressing his shock at the ongoing killings, starvation, and attacks on aid points. Read: He added, 'I will keep saying it—if this ever becomes normal for us, we are truly lost. Don't stop speaking up. Always stand for humanity, for equality, for a better tomorrow.' This follows Khawaja's earlier condemnation of the deaths of over 130 Palestinian children in a single day, where he highlighted the lack of global outrage. "These kids have names and families, just like you," he stated. Khawaja, born in Pakistan and a practicing Muslim, has consistently used his platform to oppose the violence in Gaza. During Australia's 2023 Test series, he attempted a silent protest with messages on his shoes, but was reprimanded by the International Cricket Council (ICC), leading him to wear a black armband instead. Khawaja criticised the ICC for its inconsistent rule enforcement, saying, "Other guys that have religious things on their equipment, under the ICC guidelines, that's not technically allowed, but the ICC never says anything on that." Read: Through his continued advocacy, Khawaja remains a vocal critic of the violence in Gaza, urging the world to not normalise such brutality.

Sabalenka pulls out of Montreal event
World number one Aryna Sabalenka has withdrawn from the WTA Canadian Open tournament in Montreal due to fatigue, Tennis Canada announced on Wednesday. The 27-year-old from Belarus, runner-up at the Australian and French Opens, comes off semi-final runs at Wimbledon and Berlin and titles at Madrid and Miami. "I'm looking forward to kicking off the North American hard-court swing, but to give myself the best chance for success this season, I've decided it's in my best interest to skip Montreal," Sabalenka said. Missing the July 27-August 7 event leaves the reigning US Open champion only one major tuneup, at Cincinnati in August, before she tries to defend her crown on the Flushing Meadows hardcourts. "I'll miss my amazing Canadian fans, but I'm already looking forward to seeing you all next year," Sabalenka said. "Thanks for your understanding and support -- it means the world to me." Sabalenka was upset in the Wimbledon semi-finals by American Amanda Anisimova. "We're obviously disappointed that Aryna won't be with us this year," tournament director Valerie Tetreault said. World number 10 Paula Badosa of Spain withdrew from the event due to injury. The two departures opened spots in the main draw for American Caty McNally and Japan's Moyuka Uchijima. Canada's Eugenie Bouchard announced on Wednesday that she will retire from professional tennis after the WTA event in Montreal, her hometown. Bouchard, 31, rose as high as fifth in the world rankings and enjoyed her best career season in 2014 when she reached her only Grand Slam singles final at Wimbledon. She also made semi-final runs that year at the Australian and French Opens and reached the fourth round at the US Open, her best career showings in each of the Grand Slam tournaments.

Russell set to retire after Aus T20Is
Andre Russell, who was included in the 16-member West Indies squad against Australia, is set to hang up his boots from international cricket during the T20I series, starting from 20 July. He had missed being a part of the squad against England late last year, due to an injury. The Jamaican who is a two-time world champion, having been a part of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup winning squads in 2012 and 2016, will play his last two international matches on 20 and 22 July at his homeground in Sabina Park. Russell was thankful to have represented the West Indies and expressed his pride in donning the maroon jersey for more than a decade. "Words cannot explain what it meant. To represent the West Indies has been one of the proudest achievements in my life," he told Cricket West Indies. "When I was a kid, I did not expect to get to this level, but the more you start to play and get to love the sport, you realise what you can achieve. "This inspired me to become better because I wanted to leave a mark in the maroon colours and become an inspiration to others." The two-time World Champion expressed about finishing his career in front of the home crowd and hope to bid a memorable farewell to the game. "I love playing for the West Indies and I love playing at home in front of my family and friends where I get to showcase my talent and produce more high-quality performances. "I want to finish my international career on a high while being a role model for the next generation of cricketers coming out of the Caribbean." Having played only the shortest format of the game since 2019, the swashbuckling all-rounder has snapped 61 wickets and scored 1078 runs in 84 outings. His raw skills in domestic T20 leagues won his teams championships with Russell being a major contributor in many of such victories. Darren Sammy, who was his teammate, captain and is now the West Indies coach acknowledged Russell's hunger to perform and win for the country. "Andre has always been the consummate professional and a fierce competitor. Whether I was captaining him or now coaching him, his hunger to perform and win for West Indies has never wavered. "I wish him all the best on his next chapter, and I hope he continues to inspire generations to come." Andrew, Blades named for T20Is Cricket West Indies (CWI) has unveiled a 16-member squad for their upcoming five-match T20I series against Australia, starting July 20, following the conclusion of the Test leg which Australia swept 3-0. Teen sensation Jewel Andrew and left-arm seamer Jediah Blades have earned their first-ever T20I call-ups. Andrew, just 18, is a highly-rated wicketkeeper-batter known for his maturity at the crease and proficiency against spin. His domestic performances have caught the eye of selectors looking to inject fresh energy into the side. Blades, who made his ODI debut last December, impressed with the new ball and gets a shot at making his mark in the shortest format of the game. Skipper Shai Hope leads a squad featuring experienced campaigners like Jason Holder, Akeal Hosein, and Rovman Powell. Head coach Darren Sammy stressed that the series is part of West Indies' roadmap towards the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026, set to be hosted jointly by India and Sri Lanka. "Our focus is clear - we're building towards winning the T20 World Cup in 2026. This series gives us a chance to refine our playing style and strengthen our core group," Sammy said. Acknowledging recent home losses, Sammy added, "We haven't had the results we wanted at home in our last two series, but this is a fresh start. We're confident in our group and hungry to turn things around."
