- Ashes rivals Australia sit above England in ICC table
- Zimbabwe Test is captain’s first action since December
England’s Test captain Ben Stokes has set his sights on taking his team to No 1 in the world rankings.
Andrew Strauss was the last England skipper to reach the summit back in 2011, holding the title for less than a year, but the annual update of the International Cricket Council’s table recently catapulted Stokes’s side from fifth to second. Only rivals Australia remain above them.
