Younus Khan gained two ranking points to grab the ninth position in the ICC batsmen ranking for tests. South African batsman Hashim Amla grabbed the first position with his captain AB De Villiers not far below at number two. Australian captain Michael Clarke moved from second position to fourth due to his poor performance in Mohali against India in the recent test series. Srilankan batsman Kumar Sangakkara was ranked fifth.
None of the Pakistani batsman could make their way into the top 10 ODI batsmen rankings.
Amla and De Villiers replicated their test performance in the ODIs and grabbed the top two slots with Amla on first and De Villiers on second. Indian batsman Virat Kohli and Captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni were ranked on third and fourth position respectively. England batsman Jonathon Trott was ranked five.

Proteas bowlers rule the test bowlers ranking with Dale Steyn on first and Vernon Philander on second position. Srilankan bowler Rangana Herath and Australian bowler Peter Siddle were ranked fourth and fifth respectively.
Ajmal has been topping the list of the ODI bowlers ranking, since 2012, with S P Narine from West Indies on second position and England bowler Steven Finn ranked third.
Pakistan’s Muhammed Hafeez has gradually gone down to fourth position since September 24, when he topped the ODI bowlers ranking.
