Australia has opened up a six-point gap over India at the top of the ICC Test Team Rankings. This is because in the annual update, the results from 2012-13 are no longer included in the calculations and outcomes from the 2014-15 series weighted at 50 per cent. According to a media release issued by ICC, India now leads third-placed Pakistan by just one point. Pakistan has benefited from the annual update as defeat against South Africa by 3-0 in 2012-13 no longer counts, while the 2-0 loss to Sri Lanka in 2014-15 has its weighting reduced to 50 per cent. The annual Test update has resulted in South Africa dropping from third position to sixth after conceding 17 points. This is due to South Africa's victories over England, Australia, New Zealand and Pakistan in 2012-13 all being dropped from the rankings calculations. As per the latest ICC Test Team Rankings:- Australia are number One, India are number 2, Pakistan are Number Three. They are followed by England at No.4, New Zealand at No. 5, South Africa No. 6, Sri Lanka No. 7, West Indies No. 8, and Bangladesh at No. 9.
