Labuschagne has consolidated his position at the top of the ICC Men's Test Player Rankings with a career-best 937 rating points after compiling his third three-figure knock in the two-match ICC World Test Championship (WTC) series against the West Indies.
Australia are currently at the top of the standings. They are in a good position to reach the finals but there are at least four other teams in contention.
After the team was eliminated early from the 2022 T20 World Cup after failing to go past the first round, Simmons' departure was made public. That was a continuation of their terrible white-ball performance, which will probably need them to compete in the ODI World Cup qualification event
Labuschagne, who was just two points behind Root before the two ICC World Test Championship (WTC) Tests completed over the past week, now enjoys a healthy lead at the top even as Root has slipped to fourth place behind Steve Smith and Babar Azam.
Cricket Australia confirmed that Smith, who had stepped down as Test skipper in the wake of a 'ball-tampering' controversy during a red-ball series against South Africa in 2018, will lead the Baggy Greens in the absence of Cummins.
Australian skipper Pat Cummins said that his side is extremely excited about the opportunity they will be receiving in the next few months to play some of the best teams in the world in their Test summer, that could also give them an opportunity to play the final of the ICC World Test Champi
