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

As a result, Pakistan slipped to ninth position in the standings. The new rankings display the current hierarchy of Test teams. The announcement was made after the series concluded.

Separately, the governing body also published updated rankings for women's teams. South Africa's women's squad qualified for the next Cricket World Cup. This qualification occurred after they defeated Namibia in a qualifier tournament. The series triumph confirmed their place in the tournament. The two ranking updates were processed separately by the ICC.
