1. Starc overtakes Bumrah as world's top-ranked Test bowler
Mitchell Starc became the world's number one Test bowler for the first time, ending Jasprit Bumrah's long run at the top.

Mitchell Starc has taken the ICC Test bowling top spot for the first time. He collected 10 wickets across two Tests against Bangladesh, and the numbers were enough to push Jasprit Bumrah down to second.
Bumrah had held the ranking for an extended stretch. Starc's recent consistency was what finally tipped the balance.
It's the first time the left-arm quick has sat at number one in his career.
CricHubb Take
Australia's schedule for the next year gives Starc more Tests than most frontline bowlers will play, so the question isn't whether he can hold the ranking—it's whether Bumrah can find enough matches to take it back.
