About the men's Test batting rankings
The ICC men's Test batting rankings rate individual batters on a points scale. The rating is built from the runs a batter scores, the quality of the bowlers faced, the result of the match, and how the score compares with the other scores in that match, so a big innings against a strong attack in a low-scoring game counts for more than the same score in an easy one.
Test matches are long, so ratings move slowly - a series win or a single standout innings can shift a spot, but a single day rarely does.
Ratings are updated by the ICC after matches finish; a batter who is not playing keeps their rating, though it can still fall in rank as others overtake them.
How to read this table
Rank is the player's current position in this format. A green or red arrow shows how many places they moved since the last update.
Rating is the player's points score. A gap of a few points between neighbours is small and can flip after one innings or spell; a gap of 50+ points usually reflects a real difference in form over time.
The country under each name is the team the player represents.
