Shai Hope and John Campbell were the biggest jumpers for the West Indies in the latest ICC Test batting rankings.

Hope, who scored 103 in the second innings of the second Test against India — his first Test century since 2017 — leapt 34 places from 100th to 66th.

Meanwhile, Campbell, who scored 115 in the same innings — his maiden Test hundred — moved up six spots from 74th to 68th.

All-rounder Justin Greaves climbed five places to 71st after scoring an unbeaten half-century in the same innings.

Kraigg Brathwaite, who last featured in the Test series against Australia in July, remains the West Indies’ highest-ranked batsman despite dropping two spots to 58th. Alick Athanaze follows at 62nd.

Joshua Da Silva, who did not feature on the Indian tour, slipped three places to 75th, captain Roston Chase dropped one spot to 82nd, while Tagenarine Chanderpaul moved up two spots to 96th — the same as Gudakesh Motie.

In the bowling rankings, injured fast bowler Shamar Joseph fell one spot to 16th, while Jayden Seales, who had a tough tour of India, dropped four places to 17th.

Left-arm spinner Jomel Warrican, who took the most wickets on the tour, rose two places to 30th, one behind Alzarri Joseph, while Chase jumped four spots to 57th.
