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 fell to the ninth position in the standings. The revised rankings show the current hierarchy of Test teams. The announcement was made after the series concluded.
In a separate update, the governing body also announced revised 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 win locked in their place in the tournament. The two ranking updates were processed separately by the ICC.
