      <title>Pakistan rise to top spot in Test ranking after Ashes sanctions</title>
      <link>https://english.aaj.tv/news/30329331/pakistan-rise-to-top-spot-in-test-ranking-after-ashes-sanctions</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Pakistan rose to the top spot in the World Test Championship standings after England and Australia points were deducted from their tally due to a slow over-rate in the Ashes series.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Pakistan have made a perfect start to the 2023-25 campaign with a point percentage of 100 after their clean sweep against Sri Lanka,” said the International Cricket Council in a blog on Wednesday.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Babar Azam-led side &lt;a href="https://www.aajenglish.tv/news/30328774/pakistan-whitewash-sri-lanka-as-noman-ali-shines"&gt;whitewash&lt;/a&gt; Sri Lanka last month as they dominated the hosts with a thumping innings victory in the second Test.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;    &lt;figure class='media  w-full  w-full  media--stretch  media--embed  media--uneven'&gt;
        &lt;div class='media__item  media__item--twitter  '&gt;&lt;span&gt;

        &lt;a href="https://twitter.com/ICC/status/1686701891923664901?"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
    &lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
        
    &lt;/figure&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;India were following them in the second spot with 66.66%. Rohit Sharma’s men have a win and a draw against their name after their series against West Indies.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;England were docked 19 points and Australia 10 points as a penalty for slow over-rate across the &lt;a href="https://www.aajenglish.tv/trends/ashes-series"&gt;series&lt;/a&gt; as they fell further down the WTC25 standings.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Under the revised regulations, they were fined five per cent of their match fee and one WTC point for every over short.&lt;/p&gt;
