Australia’s Marnus Labuschagne has lost his crown as the world’s best Test batsman, following his rare double-failure at Edgbaston, which has cost him top spot in the ICC rankings. Joe Root has overtaken the Queenslander to claim top spot, with Labuschagne and teammate Steve Smith dropping to third and sixth, respectively. Despite Labuschagne’s struggles, Australia’s strong team depth allowed them to secure a two-wicket win over England, leading his colleagues to remain confident in his ability to bounce back. Usman Khawaja expressed the sentiment of the team by stating, “I genuinely just expect him to score a hundred next game. We’ve still got four Ashes Tests. Might be a good thing for us, they have some runs in the bank.” The ICC rankings also saw Travis Head demoted from third to fourth.
