Test Cricket: News, Scores, and Rankings You Need

If you love the longest format of the game, you’re in the right place. Here you’ll find fast updates on test matches, player stats, and where teams stand in the ICC rankings. No fluff, just the info you care about.

Recent Matches and What They Mean

Last week India faced England in a five‑day showdown that ended in a thrilling draw. The high‑pressure chase on day four saw Rohit Sharma smash a quick 150, keeping the series alive. Meanwhile, Australia’s new pacer, Jake Miller, took five wickets in the first innings against South Africa, pushing the Aussies back into the top three of the ICC test table.

In the sub‑continent, Sri Lanka beat Bangladesh by three wickets in Colombo, thanks to a gritty 98 from Kusal Mendis. That win lifted Sri Lanka to fifth place, edging out New Zealand, which lost its recent test to the West Indies.

Upcoming Series and Key Players to Watch

Looking ahead, the England‑Australia Ashes series starts in December. All eyes are on the young spinner, Ollie Robinson, who topped the wickets list in last year’s home series. If he keeps the ball swinging, England could surprise the hosts.

South Africa will tour New Zealand in early 2026. Their all‑rounder, Kagiso Rabada, is aiming for a 400‑run haul across the series – a milestone that would cement his place among the great fast bowlers.

Don’t forget the emerging talent from the West Indies. Young fast bowler Alzarri Joseph is making headlines after a 6‑for‑45 spell against Pakistan. Keep an eye on his speed and stamina; he could become the next big name in test cricket.

Beyond individual performances, the ICC rankings are shifting fast. As of today, India leads the batting rankings, while Australia tops the bowling table. Pakistan sits in the middle of the team rankings, but a strong home series could push them into the top five.

So whether you’re tracking a live score, checking the latest rankings, or planning which match to watch next, this page gives you the quick facts and deeper insights you need. Stay tuned for more updates, and enjoy the drama of test cricket – the format that truly tests skill, endurance, and strategy.
