Shakib Al Hasan has lost the top spot in the ICC ranking of Test all-rounders again.
India's Ravichandran Ashwin has raced ahead to
be the best Test all-rounder.
The India off-spinner, Ashwin, is at the
top with 357 points.
Shakib, who has played 34 Tests, was banned after
sparking controversies on and off the field last July.
The ban barred the
27-year-old from taking part in the series against the West
Indies.
Before this, he topped the all-rounder ranking a month ago,
despite not playing Tests for six months. But poor performances of his rivals
had more to do with that than his own.
Shakib's ratings points have
slipped from 364 to 350. Ashwin had been lurking in the second position with 357
ratings points.
Bangladesh's best all-rounder led the Test all-rounder
ranking for the first time on Dec 17, 2011 – with a career-best ratings points
of 404.
Ashwin and Shakib are followed by South Africa's Vernon
Philander, with 348 ratings points. England's Stuart Broad (296) and Australia's
Mitchell Johnson (280) round off the top five.
Sri Lanka's Kumar
Sangakkara leads the Test batsmen ranking with 915 ratings points, while Dale
Steyn leads the Test bowlers with 907.
