Indians ravichandran ashwin

New Zealander Daryl Mitchell: The West Indies pair of Jayden Seales and Jason Holder climbed up the ICC Men's Test Player Rankings, emerging as the big winners in the updated list released on Wednesday. Seales and Holder both performed well during the West Indies' recent Test series against South Africa, despite the fact the Caribbean side fell to a 1-0 series defeat.

Seales collected nine wickets in the second Test in Guyana, with his six-wicket haul in the second innings of the contest seeing the 22-year-old claim his best Test figures of 6/61. His superb performance in Guyana helped him gain 13 places on the Test rankings for bowlers and a new career-high rating in 13th place. India's Ravichandran Ashwin continues to lead the Test bowling list with Australia's Josh Hazlewood and India's Jasprit Bumrah sharing the second spot.

Holder also made good ground in all three categories, with the 32-year-old gaining two spots to move up to fifth behind Indian duo Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin on the latest rankings for Test all-rounders following good contributions with the bat and ball in Guyana.
