Stuart Broad achieves four-year high in ICC Test bowlers' rankings
The fast bowler has moved seven places to No. 3, a position he last occupied in August 2016
Stuart Broad enjoyed a hugely memorable Test match as England sealed a 2-1 series win over West Indies at Old Trafford. He picked up a 10-wicket match haul, the Player-of-the-Match award, and along the way his 500th Test wicket as well.
That performance has also catapulted Broad seven places on the ICC Test bowlers' rankings, up to No. 3 - a position he last occupied nearly four years ago, in August 2016.
Broad is the lone England bowler in the top ten, behind Australia's Pat Cummins and sandwiched between the New Zealand pair of Neil Wagner (No. 2) and Tim Southee (No. 4). West Indies captain Jason Holder, who took 10 wickets in the three Tests against England at an average of 30.10, completes the top five.
Other big movers in the ICC rankings after the England-West Indies series are Rory Burns, who has moved up 13 spots in the Test batting rankings to No. 17, and Ollie Pope, who has gone up 24 places to No. 46.
