Shivnarine Chanderpaul ranked number one Test batsman

West Indies batsman Shivnarine Chanderpaul has regained his place atop the ICC's Test rankings.

Scores of 68 and 69 in the third Test against Australia were enough to see the 37-year-old overtake South Africa duo AB de Villiers and Jacques Kallis.

Chanderpaul also became the second West Indian after Brian Lara to pass the 10,000-run mark during the match in Dominica.

The Guyanan will hope to further press home his status as the world's number one ranked batter during the Windies upcoming tour of England.

The three-match series begins at Lord's on May 17.
