The ICC Men’s Test Team Rankings for Pakistan fell to their lowest point since 1965 after the Shan Masood-led team lost to Bangladesh in a historic series.

Bangladesh completed a clean sweep and won their first-ever series against the Green Shirts by defeating Pakistan by six wickets in the second Test match. With a commanding 10-wicket margin, the touring team had won the opening Test.

Pakistan dropped two spots to seventh place with 66 rating points after their consecutive losses against Bangladesh.

Apart from a brief period when they were not included in the rankings because of not enough matches played, this is the lowest rating points Pakistan has had in the Test rankings table since 1965, according to an ICC press release.

Bangladesh, on the other hand, increased their rating points by 13, however they are still trailing Pakistan in the ICC Men’s Test Team Rankings, having moved up to ninth.

Pakistan’s drop in the rankings has allowed Sri Lanka and the West Indies to move up one spot to sixth and seventh place, respectively.

Following Pakistan’s defeat in the second Test against Bangladesh, captain Shan Masood said, “We are extremely disappointed. We were excited for the home season, but the story has been the same as Australia.”

“Our lessons have not been learned.” Though we didn’t think we were doing a good enough job, we still needed to improve our cricket game in Australia.
