ICC Test Rankings: International Cricket Council has made a big blunder. ICC website glitch had put India as World No 1 in Tests momentarily, taking away Australia’s gains. Instead of Australia’s 126 points, ICC gave Rohit Sharma & Co 115 rating points, making them the new World No 1. Australia only had 111 instead of 126. But ICC has now corrected the website and Australia are back as the World No 1. Instead, India will only become new World No 1 if they beat Australia at home in the Test series.
