ICC World Test Championship 2025-27 points table after WI vs AUS 3rd Test
Shashwat Nishant New Delhi
On Monday, India endured a heartbreaking 22-run defeat at the hands of England in the third Test at Lord's in the ongoing Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy. With this result, the visitors now trail 2-1 in the five-match contest, a significant setback in their quest to dominate the World Test Championship (WTC) 2025-27 cycle. On the other hand the 2023 WTC champions Australia have continued their dominant run in the latest cycle after defeating West Indies by 176 in the third Test at Sabina Park in Jamica on Tuesday morning. Australia have maintained thier 100 per cent points percantage while also securing the three match series with 3-0 margin.
The loss proved costly for Shubman Gill's side in the WTC table as well. India dropped to fourth place in the latest standings, holding 12 points and a percentage points tally (PCT) of 33.33%. Despite playing competitive cricket, India's inability to close out games has impacted their position in the early stages of the championship.
England, on the other hand, climbed to second place following their gritty win. They now sit just behind Australia, who lead the table with a perfect record after winning 3-0 in the three-match Test series against the West Indies. England's upward movement in the standings reflects their strong comeback in the series and a growing consistency in red-ball cricket.
Sri Lanka currently occupies third place with 16 points and an impressive PCT of 66.67, following their successful series against Bangladesh. The Islanders have quietly established themselves as early contenders for a spot in the WTC Final. Bangladesh with 16.67 points percentage are ranked fifth just below India, while West Indies, who are yet to open thier account in WTC 2025-27 cycle after two matches are ranked sixth. New Zealand, Pakistan and the defending champions South Africa are yet to open their campaign in the latest WTC cycle.
The race for a place in the 2027 WTC Final, set to be hosted once again at Lord's, is heating up. With multiple high-stakes series still to come, teams will be looking to capitalise on every opportunity to gain valuable points in the months ahead.

RCB Star Set To Become Englands Youngest Mens Captain During Ireland T20Is; Check Details
Jacob Bethell will lead England in the upcoming three match T20I series against Ireland, starting from September 17. Bethell is set to captain England in absence of regular skipper Harry Brook, who is being rested along with other all-format players as part of workload management. During the T20Is against England, Bethell, who play for Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in Indian Premier League (IPL), will become England's youngest men's captain. The 21-year-old Bethell will surpass the record currently held by Monty Bowden, who was 23 and 144 days when he led England against South Africa at Cape Town on the Test tour of 1888-89. "Jacob Bethell has impressed with his leadership qualities ever since he has been with the England squads and the series against Ireland will provide him with the opportunity to further develop those skills on the international stage," England men's selector Luke Wright said. History maker! Jacob Bethell is set to become our youngest ever England Men's captain against Ireland Congrats, Beth! — England Cricket (@englandcricket) August 15, 2025 Meanwhile, Sonny Baker has won his maiden England call-up after impressing in the winter with the England Lions and during the Blast and The Hundred. Baker is named in both the South Africa ODI squad and the Ireland T20I group, joining a largely settled limited-overs core. "Sonny is a player we have identified for a while and he was impressive during the England Lions tours last winter. He has carried that form into this season in white-ball cricket with Hampshire and Manchester Originals and deservedly gets his opportunity," Wright said.

Aiden Markram Backs Opening Role, Set To Open In Decider Against Australia To Fit In Power-Hitters For Proteas
South Africa captain Aiden Markram has confirmed he will keep opening the batting in the T20I side to make room for the team's big-hitting middle-order players. With the three-match series against Australia locked at 1-1, the deciding clash will take place in Cairns on Saturday. IPL Form Boosting Confidence Markram thrived as an opener during the 2025 IPL, scoring five half-centuries in 13 innings for Lucknow Super Giants at a strike rate of 148.82. However, his last T20I score over fifty came in October 2022. "Looking at the players we have, opening suits me best," Markram explained. "We've got dangerous hitters in the middle order, so it makes sense for me and Ryan Rickelton to start things off. Batting in the powerplay is always exciting, and we aim to set a strong platform." Also Read: Rohit Sharma's 'Har Baar Thodi Retirement Lunga' Quip Goes Viral In Rishabh Pant's Independence Day Post Partnerships and Standout Performances In this series, his opening stands with Rickelton have yielded 12 and 34 runs. While number three batter Lhuan-dre Pretorius is still searching for form, Dewald Brevis' unbeaten 125 in the second T20I has been a huge boost for South Africa's batting lineup. Off-Spin Option When Needed Markram also offers part-time off-spin and has even opened the bowling in certain matches, including dismissing Travis Head in the second game. 'Bowling is a feel thing,' he said. 'With how hard the ball travels these days, I'm not always eager to bowl, but if conditions suit, I trust my instincts.' Turning Around a Poor Series Record South Africa has won just one of their last nine bilateral T20I series, something Markram wants to change. 'The bowlers have been consistent, but now it's time for the batting group to click as a unit. We want to put on a big score and finish this series strong,' he added. The stage is set for a high-stakes decider as the Proteas aim to seal a morale-boosting series win.
