The ICC revised the standings for men's Test cricket. This happened following England's recent series sweep of Pakistan.

As a result, Pakistan dropped to the ninth position in the standings. The new rankings reflect the current hierarchy of Test teams. The announcement was made following the final match.

In a separate update, 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 happened after they beat Namibia in a qualifier tournament. The series triumph confirmed their place in the tournament. The two ranking updates were processed separately by the ICC.
