Bangladesh have slipped down one spot in the ODI Rankings after the annual rankings update across three formats by the International Cricket Council on Monday.
The latest update saw them ranked below West Indies as they now have 76 rating points after a four-point decline.聽
West Indies eclipsed Bangladesh with a five-point surge and are now in ninth position with 83 points.
However, Bangladesh retained its place in Tests and T20s. The Tigers are ninth in those two formats with a rating point of 62 in Tests and 225 in T20s.
