Harry Brook has made a significant rise in the ICC Test rankings, reaching a career-high third spot among batters. This jump comes after his stellar performance in the Trent Bridge Test against the West Indies, where he scored a crucial second-innings century. With a total of 195 runs in three innings, Brook’s average has soared to 65 in the ongoing series. His recent form has seen him surpass other top players such as Babar Azam, Daryl Mitchell, and Steve Smith.

Brook’s rise highlights the potential of the 24-year-old in Test cricket, as he continues to develop a reputation as one of the most exciting young talents. In just 14 Test matches, Brook has already established himself as one of the leading batters in world cricket. His ability to perform under pressure has been key in his rapid ascent up the rankings.

Meanwhile, Joe Root, the former England captain, is also on the brink of a remarkable milestone. Root’s second-innings century in the same Trent Bridge Test has brought him to within just seven points of Kane Williamson, who currently holds the number one spot in the ICC Test batting rankings. Root’s continued consistency has kept him among the top players in the world, and his performance against the West Indies has shown that he remains one of the leading figures in world cricket.
Brook’s rise and Root’s proximity to the top spot underline England’s strong position in world cricket, with both players showcasing outstanding form. As the ongoing series progresses, both Brook and Root could continue to challenge for the top positions in the rankings.
