Due to a technical glitch, Team India turned out to be the number 1 test team©AFP
The International Cricket Council (ICC) has apologized for the technical glitch, which saw India displace Australia to reach the No. 1 position in the men’s test team rankings on Wednesday. Hours after India ‘topped’ the Test rankings, the ICC released another updated list which saw Rohit Sharma’s side back at number 2. It gave the impression that Rohit’s team had momentarily taken top spot after their innings and 132-run victory over Pat Cummins-led Australia at Nagpur.
On Thursday, the game’s global body admitted the error, saying in a statement that on February 15, 2023, the ICC recognizes for a brief period that, due to a technical error, India was incorrectly shown as the number 1 test. team on the ICC website.
“We apologize for the inconvenience.” “Australia remain top of the ICC Test Team Rankings following the latest update following the conclusion of Zimbabwe’s two-game series against the West Indies.” “Australia enters the second Test against India in Delhi, which begins on Friday, January 17, as the No. 1-ranked team with 126 rating points, 11 above India’s 115,” the ICC statement added.
India will be vying for a place in the final of the 2021-23 ICC World Test Championship. Australia will also be vying for a place in the grand event final, which will be played at The Oval in London from June 7-11 . .”
