Rabada, Morkel climb in rankings

Cape Town - Kagiso Rabada and Morne Morkel have both moved up one place in the latest ICC Test bowling rankings following South Africa's 1-0 series win in New Zealand. 

Rabada moves up from eighth to seventh while Morkel, who returned from a long injury lay-off in New Zealand, is up from 14th to 13th. 

Despite his continued absence with injury, Dale Steyn continues to hold his place in the top 10, moving down two places to eighth. 

Steyn is working towards being fit for July's four-match Test series in England. 

Vernon Philander, meanwhile, has dropped out of the top 10 to 11th after picking up just two wickets in the New Zealand series. 

South Africa's leading wicket-taker from their New Zealand tour, Keshav Maharaj, is currently ranked 38th.
