KARACHI, Sept 17: World champions India have dropped to fifth position in the International Cricket Council’s ODI rankings after England’s 3-0 series win in Cardiff on Friday.
According to the latest rankings released by ICC on Saturday, it is India’s lowest ranking since October 2008 when they spent three months at the No 5 position to sum up a disappointing summer in England where they slipped from top position in the ICC Test Championship to third place after losing all four Tests.
India had entered the series in third position on 117 ratings points and finished on 112 ratings points after they lost the second, third and fifth matches of the one-day series, while the first ODI at Chester-le-Street was washed-out and the fourth at Lord’s had ended in a tie.
Meanwhile, Pakistan have gained one ratings point for their 3-0 victory against Zimbabwe. However, there is no change in their ranking as they stay at sixth position, 11 behind India and as many ahead of seventh-ranked New Zealand.
