Bangladesh did not have a good ending to their tour of Australia. They lost the Mackay Test by an innings, and the match was over within two days. Even so, the Bangladesh team has created a new piece of history. They have risen to sixth place in the Test rankings for the first time.

In the Test rankings updated on the ICC website today, Bangladesh climbed three places. With 1,878 points from 24 matches, Bangladesh now have a rating of 78. Previously, their highest-ever position was seventh, which they reached in 2024 after beating Pakistan 2-0 in a series on the home soil.
