Australia's Labuschagne Overtakes Root To Take Top Spot In ICC Test Rankings For Batters

By IANS News December 07, 2022 • 15:39 PM View: 566

Charismatic Australia batter Marnus Labuschagne has overtaken England's Joe Root to grab the top spot in the latest ICC Men's Test Player Rankings after becoming just the eighth player to score a double-century and a century in the same Test.

Labuschagne, who was just two points behind Root before the two ICC World Test Championship (WTC) Tests completed over the past week, now enjoys a big lead at the top even as Root has slipped to fourth place -- behind Steve Smith and Babar Azam, according to ICC.
