Only teams in the top six till April 1, 2006 will automatically be eligible for the second stage of ICC championship trophy to be held in India in 2006.

Two Indian batsmen is ahead of Sachin, Dravid is on 7 th and Sehwag moves up to 18th from 25th position. However it was Kallis’ consistence performance that made him a permanent member in the top ten. He is ninth.
