Mitchell Starc tops ICC Test bowling rankings for first time

Mitchell Starc has claimed the number one ICC Test bowling ranking for the first time in his career. The Australia left-armer overtook Jasprit Bumrah after taking a 10-wicket haul against Bangladesh in Mackay. Bumrah dropped to second place.

Starc now holds the top spot with 445 career Test wickets, placing him tenth on the all-time list. His performances in the series against Bangladesh proved decisive in the ranking change. The shift marks the first time Starc has led the ICC Men's Test Bowling Rankings.

The ranking update follows Australia's recent Test series against Bangladesh. Starc's consistent performances across the matches allowed him to surpass Bumrah, who had held the position for an extended period.
