The ICC revised the standings for men's Test cricket. This happened after England's recent series sweep of Pakistan.
As a result, Pakistan slipped to ninth position in the standings. The new rankings display the current hierarchy of Test teams. The announcement was made once the series ended.
Elsewhere, the governing body also announced revised rankings for women's teams. South Africa's women's squad qualified for the upcoming Cricket World Cup. This qualification occurred after they defeated Namibia in a qualifier tournament. The victory confirmed their place in the tournament. The two ranking updates were announced separately by the ICC.
