ICC announces new ODI rankings

After the conclusion of the world cup, International Cricket Council has revealed the new One Day International Rankings.

Not surprisingly, Australia are the number one ranked team in the world, followed by India and South Africa.

Amongst the batsmen, AB de Villiers sits at the top while fellow countryman Hashim Amla is ranked 3rd with world cup century machine Kumar Sangakkara separating the two.

Mitchell Starc's ferocious bowling propelled Australia to the title and has earned him the top spot in the bowling rankings. South Africa's Imran Tahir also had a great world cup and is ranked 2nd, while New Zealand's Trent Boult has moved to 6th position after some memorable performances in the global event.
