Update : 04 Sep 2024, 08:35 PM

Pakistan fell to their worst Test ranking in nearly six decades Wednesday, the International Cricket Council said, after the shock 2-0 series defeat to lower-ranked Bangladesh.

The Tigers inflicted a six-wicket defeat on the home team in the second Test in Rawalpindi Tuesday, their first series win against Pakistan.

"Pakistan dropped two places - from sixth to eighth - in the Test rankings after suffering a shock series loss at home to Bangladesh," the ICC said.

The ICC said it was "their lowest ranking since 1965" in the 12-team table, which is topped by Australia followed by India and England.

Bangladesh are ninth in the latest rankings.

There are now no Pakistan bowlers ranked in the top 10 after paceman Shaheen Shah Afridi fell to 11th from his ninth place before the Bangladesh series.

Wicketkeeper-batter Mohammad Rizwan is the only Pakistani remaining in the top 10 batting rankings, while Babar Azam dropped three places to 12th.

Babar managed just 64 runs in the two Tests against Bangladesh.
