The ICC updated the rankings for men's Test cricket. This happened on the back of England's recent series sweep of Pakistan.
As a result, Pakistan fell to ninth position in the standings. The updated rankings display the current hierarchy of Test teams. The announcement was made after the series concluded.
Elsewhere, the governing body also announced revised rankings for women's teams. South Africa's women's squad earned a spot for the upcoming Cricket World Cup. This qualification came after they defeated Namibia in a qualifier tournament. The series triumph locked in their place in the tournament. The two ranking updates were announced separately by the ICC.
