“On behalf of the ICC, I would like to congratulate Andrew Strauss, Andy Flower and the whole team for becoming the number-one ranked Test team in the world,” said ICC chief executive Haroon Lorgat. “This achievement is just reward for the hard work from all the players and team management, and they no doubt will celebrate being on top of the world.”
Lorgat added that England were determined, and through careful planning had deservedly achieved their goal.
