Cummins falls to third with 858 rating points
But, he has a chance to recover the top rank if Australia’s current Test series against India goes well. The current rankings update did not completely exclude Indian athletes; in fact, spinner Ravindra Jadeja moved up seven positions to rank ninth among Test bowlers.

The latest ICC Test rankings for all-rounder have moved him up two spots to fifth overall as compensation. The focus of this week’s rankings is the shift at the top of the Test bowler rankings, but there are also many players moving up in other categories.
The ICC Test rankings for batter place New Zealanders Tom Blundell (11th) and Devon Conway (17th) in career-high ranks, while England’s Ollie Pope (23rd), Harry Brook (31st), and Ben Duckett (38th) also earn the honor with their personal highest rankings.
