Pakistan was the best test cricket team when ICC revealed its ranking last year in which Pakistan was at the top, but after that Pakistan started its journey towards downfall which is continuing till today.
[junkie-alert style=”green”] Now Pakistan has further slided down to 6th position after New Zealand won the series against Bangladesh by 2-0. [/junkie-alert]
Last Augusts’ ranking was a remarkable achievement by Pakistan Cricket team because it was after 27 years that Pakistani team was able to become the top test team in the world but due to poor performances it failed to maintain the title.

The major reason for downfall in the ranking was clean swept by New Zealand and then Pakistan again failed to perform in the series against Australia.
This was a sad news for Pakistani cricket fans because they were hoping that Pakistan will win the series against Australia which will result in better ranking. But Pakistan lost the test series and is performing poorly in ODIs.
