ICC corrects mistake : England lose more points

England have been docked eight ICC World Test Championship points – three more than previously stated – for maintaining a slow over-rate in the first Ashes Test against Australia.

Last Saturday, it was announced that England would be docked five WTC points, one for each over they were found to initially have fallen short by. However, it has since emerged they were eight overs short, and will therefore lose three additional points.

That left them with six points after five Tests in the ongoing 2021-23 cycle of the WTC, putting them at the 7th spot in the table, with a win percentage of 10%.  (ICC)
