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 ninth position in the standings. The revised rankings show the current hierarchy of Test teams. The announcement was made once the series ended.

Separately, the governing body also released new rankings for women's teams. South Africa's women's squad secured a place for the next Cricket World Cup. This qualification happened after they beat Namibia in a qualifier tournament. The win guaranteed their place in the tournament. The two ranking updates were processed separately by the ICC.
