The ICC revised the standings for men's Test cricket. This happened following England's recent series sweep of Pakistan.
As a result, Pakistan slipped to ninth position in the standings. The revised rankings show the current hierarchy of Test teams. The announcement was made after the series concluded.
Elsewhere, the governing body also published updated rankings for women's teams. South Africa's women's squad secured a place for the next Cricket World Cup. This qualification occurred after they won against Namibia in a qualifier tournament. The victory guaranteed their place in the tournament. The two ranking updates were processed separately by the ICC.
