England seamer James Anderson has regained the top spot in the ICC Test bowling rankings ahead of South Africa’s Kagiso Rabada.
Rabada has dropped to second despite picking up eight wickets across two Tests in the Proteas’ 2-0 series defeat in Sri Lanka, with a best of 4-50 in the opener in Galle.
Anderson, who claimed nine wickets in England’s drawn two-Test series at home to Pakistan earlier this summer, has 892 points, with Rabada on 882 and India spinner Ravindra Jadeja third on 866.
The 35 year old is expected to be included in the England squad for the first Test at Edgbaston when the squad is announced tomorrow morning.
