After assisting England to defeat Pakistan at Headingley by an innings and 103 runs, Robinson rose 15 places to rank 11th. Josh Tongue, who took eight wickets in Leeds as well, moved up 16 spots to finish 17th.

Asitha Fernando and Prabath Jayasuriya moved up five spots each to 15th and 16th respectively after their defeat to India in Galle. Jayasuriya took seven wickets while Asitha took six in the match.

Among batters, Harry Brook stayed on top after his 91 in Leeds, while Rishabh Pant shot up six places to re-enter the top ten at seventh following scores of 39 and 66 against Sri Lanka in Galle.
