ICC : # 1 Rank

https://www.icc-cricket.com/news/983074

Jason Holder, the Windies captain, has risen to No.1 in the ICC Test rankings for all-rounders !!

This week was all about Jason Holder, who was named in the ICC Test team of the year 2018 for his all-round skills.
He has, for the most part, been known as a bowling all-rounder, but he massively enhanced his batting reputation
by stroking a marvelous unbeaten 202 against England.
Under his leadership, the Windies also bowled England out for 77 and 246.

He also picked the crucial wickets of Joe Root and Keaton Jennings
and all in all, his all-round rating jumped to a career-best 440 points.

That meant he leapfrogged Shakib Al Hasan and Ravindra Jadeja to the top spot.
He also rose sharply in the batting rankings, by a remarkable 25 spots, and now sits comfortably at No.33.
Shane Dowrich, who supported him with a sedate 116*, also made a 14-spot jump to No.47.

Shimron Hetmyer's scores of 81 and 31 helped him rise 11 places to No.40.
