The ICC revised the standings for men's Test cricket. This happened on the back of England's recent series sweep of Pakistan.
As a result, Pakistan slipped to ninth position in the standings. The updated rankings reflect the current hierarchy of Test teams. The announcement was made following the final match.
Separately, the governing body also announced revised rankings for women's teams. South Africa's women's squad qualified for the forthcoming Cricket World Cup. This qualification occurred after they beat Namibia in a qualifier tournament. The win guaranteed their place in the tournament. The two ranking updates were handled separately by the ICC.
