The ICC updated the rankings for men's Test cricket. This happened after England's recent series sweep of Pakistan.

As a result, Pakistan fell to ninth position in the standings. The new rankings reflect 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 qualified for the upcoming Cricket World Cup. This qualification came after they defeated Namibia in a qualifier tournament. The win guaranteed their place in the tournament. The two ranking updates were announced separately by the ICC.
