Sri Lanka has dropped two places to fifth spot in ICC Test rankings following the drawn series with the West Indies.

The three-match series ended 0-0 after bad weather deprived the home team of a single victory.

With the men from the Caribbean ranked four places below Kumar Sangakkara’s side prior to the first match, a drawn series has knocked SL down to 109 ratings points, behind England and Australia, which in turn both gain one place as a result.

The ICC Test Championship table is updated only at the end of each series so the effect that the ongoing Ashes series will have on the ladder will only be known after the fifth and final Test early in January.

Meanwhile, the West Indies gained points for managing to avoid defeat in the series and is now placed just three ratings points behind Pakistan in seventh position.
