West Indies captain Jason Holder has climbed one place in the latest ICC test bowling rankings.

The 26-year-old is now 12th, inching even closer to a personal milestone of a top 10 spot in the charts which were updated following England’s dramatic victory over India in the first test at Edgbaston Saturday.

Holder, took 16-wickets in the two-test series against Bangladesh last month, and for the first time in his career his bowling average now stands at 29.35 — while he averages 30 with the bat from 34 tests.

Holder is also fifth in the all-rounders rankings.

Fast bowler Shannon Gabriel remains the highest-ranked West Indies player at 11th, while fellow pacer Kemar Roach lies 20th.

There has been no change to the top 10 of the bowling rankings, with England’s James Anderson still at the pinnacle.

In the test batting rankings, windies opener Kraig Brathwaite remains unmoved in 12th position.

India captain Virat Kohli has dislodged Australia batsman and former skipper Steve smith at number one, following his brilliant hundred in the Edgbaston test.
