Quick Answer

Ravindra Jadeja (India) is the No. 1-ranked Test all-rounder in the ICC Men’s rankings, with a rating of 422 points — well clear of Marco Jansen (South Africa, 344) in 2nd and Mehidy Hasan Miraz (Bangladesh, 314) in 3rd. The list is dominated by spin- and seam-bowling all-rounders capable of a genuine five-wicket haul and a top-six batting spot.

Test cricket’s all-rounder rankings measure the players who consistently influence a match with both bat and ball — a rare skill that ICC rewards with a combined batting-and-bowling rating. Below is the current top 20, refreshed after every completed Test series in the ICC’s rolling ratings model.

How the ICC All-Rounder Rating Works

The ICC all-rounder rating isn’t a simple average. A player earns batting rating points and bowling rating points separately — based on runs/wickets, match context, and opposition strength — and their all-rounder score is derived by combining both. Only genuine contributors in both disciplines make the top of this list; a specialist batter or bowler with occasional contributions in the other discipline won’t crack the top 20. Ratings are recalculated after every Test a qualifying player features in, so movement is common — a single big performance can shift a player several places.
Why rankings move after just one Test: ICC ratings use a weighted, decaying average of recent performances rather than a career total — so a match-winning all-round display (say, a fifty and a five-wicket haul) can lift a player’s rating noticeably, while a long lean run gradually erodes it even without a single bad match.

Notable Movements Since the Last Update

Ravindra Jadeja remains well clear at the top for India despite dropping slightly from his career-best rating, still the most complete red-ball all-rounder in the world. Marco Jansen holds a firm grip on the No. 2 spot for South Africa, while Mehidy Hasan Miraz continues to close the gap for Bangladesh at No. 3. Pat Cummins has climbed a place to No. 6, and Ollie Robinson is the biggest mover inside the top 20, jumping three spots to No. 20 for England — part of a deep all-round core for England that also includes Gus Atkinson and Joe Root. West Indies also have two representatives, Justin Greaves and Shamar Joseph, reflecting an all-round resurgence in their Test side.
