PORT-OF-SPAIN, Trinidad: Pakistan have gained the number one Test ranking after the fourth and final Test of the series between the West Indies and India was abandoned as a draw because of a waterlogged outfield on the scheduled fifth morning in Trinidad on Monday.

The draw meant India surrendered the top spot in the Test rankings to Pakistan after they had gained it due to the whitewash of Australia in Sri Lanka.

But they needed to defeat the West Indies 3-0 to prevent their arch-rivals from supplanting them at the top, following a 2-2 series draw in England.

However, India still won the series 2-0, the first time they won two Tests in a series in the West Indies.
