Three South African batsmen have made huge inroads in the ICC Test rankings after their performances against Pakistan at Newlands.
Ryan Rickelton’s career-best 259 has lifted him 48 places to 55th position, while captain Temba Bavuma (up three places to a career-best-equalling sixth position) and wicketkeeper Kyle Verreynne (up four places to 24th) have also advanced after notching centuries.
Meanwhile, Marco Jansen, named Player of the Series after finishing with 10 wickets and 80 runs, has moved up two slots to second among all-rounders, behind India’s Ravindra Jadeja.
