LONDON – West Indies have lost one ratings point following their series defeat to India on Sunday, leaving them still languishing in eighth spot in the ICC Test team rankings and even closer now to minnows Bangladesh below them.

The Caribbean side suffered a 10-wicket thrashing in the second Test in Hyderabad, to follow up their heavy innings and 272-run defeat in the Rajkot opener. Both matches finished inside three days.

West Indies have 76 points, nine points ahead of ninth place Bangladesh, who they tour next month for a crucial two-Test series.

More significantly, the Windies are now 12 points adrift of seventh place Pakistan, and drifting further away from top half of the rankings. (CMC/EZS)
