Months back Pakistan cricket team were on the top of the ICC test ranking and now after several months have passed, Pakistan’s Tests side is in some serious trouble as they have fell quite low at team ranking.
The Test mace presentation ceremony at Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore made Pakistan cricket fans delighted but now the things are quite different as Pakistan is on the 5th rank in Tests, and is not that far to the 7th position as their is only 1 point difference between them.
It would be pertinent to mention here that both, New Zealand and Sri Lanka have the same points 96, but with the difference in Net run rate, NZ enjoys the sixth position.
Pakistan is on the 5th position with 95 points.

Pakistan suffered such a mighty blow as they lost Test matches consecutively. Earlier, New Zealand did 2-0 whitewash at their home crowd and than Aussies hunted them 3-0 at their place.
Even before the New Zealand and Australia tour, former Pakistani cricketer predicted that it won’t be the roses of bed for Green Shirts and very similar to that happened as Pakistan failed under both the conditions.
