In spite of the fact that Root has dropped to fourth place, behind Steve Smith and Babar Azam, Labuschagne, who was only two points behind Root before the two ICC World Test Championship (WTC) Tests that were completed during the previous week, now enjoys a significant lead.

With scores of 204 and 104 not out in the first Test match against the West Indies in Perth, Labuschagne has 50 rating points and 42 rating points more than his countryman Smith. After Root passed Labuschagne with two consecutive centuries against New Zealand in mid-June, Labuschagne has reclaimed the top spot.

Labuschagne recorded the fifth occurrence of two Australians making double-centuries in the same Test, and Smith moved up two positions after helping the team win with unbeaten runs of 200 and 20. The 893 rating points earned by Smith are his highest total since January 2021.

Off-spinner Nathan Lyon has climbed one spot to take over the top spot among bowlers after taking eight wickets to help his team secure a 164-run victory and maintain their lead in the WTC points standings.

Kraigg Brathwaite, the captain of the West Indies, returned to the top 20 after scoring 64 and 110 in the Perth Test, and Kyle Mayers moved up to the 41st spot among bowlers.

Rankings for England's batters and the seam bowling duo of James Anderson and Ollie Robinson, who combined for five wickets in the match, are affected by their historic 74-run victory against Pakistan in the first Test at Rawalpindi.

The centurions Anderson (up two spots to third), Robinson (up 90 spots to 70th), Ben Duckett (re-entered at 127th), Zak Crawley (up two spots to 46th), Harry Brook (up 90 spots to 70th), Ollie Pope (up two rating points), and Ben Duckett have all improved in the weekly update (up seven places to a career-best eighth).

Imam-ul-Haque and Abdullah Shafique, the two Pakistani openers who scored century in the first innings and contributed to a 225-run partnership, have climbed 12 and five spots, respectively, to achieve career-best rankings.

Shreyas Iyer of India has climbed seven spots to joint-twentieth in the ICC Men's ODI Player Rankings after scoring 24 in the opening game of their current series against Bangladesh and 49 in the previous final game of the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup Super League series against New Zealand.

The rankings for ODI batters also saw advancements by Charith Asalanka of Sri Lanka (up three spots to 34th), KL Rahul of India (up four spots to 35th), and Najibullah Zadran of Afghanistan (up four spots to 41st).
