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 the ninth position in the standings. The revised rankings show the current hierarchy of Test teams. The announcement was made following the final match.
In a separate update, the governing body also published updated rankings for women's teams. South Africa's women's squad qualified for the next Cricket World Cup. This qualification happened after they beat Namibia in a qualifier tournament. The victory guaranteed their place in the tournament. The two ranking updates were handled separately by the ICC.
