India's Standings in Current World Test Championship

Despite the thriller between England and Australia in Ashes, both were penalized for slow-over rates, resulting in -19 and -10 deductions from their overall points from the series. This has brought some major changes to the WTC standings as West Indies has now moved to number 3 overtaking England. 

The gap at the top of the #WTC25 table widened significantly after England and Australia were hit with sanctions at the end of the #Ashes.

Even though India was leading at number 1 but the draw in the second test match against West Indies and Pakistan’s win against Sri Lanka put India in 2nd place. The Ashes were settled with a thrilling draw after England bounced back in two games, also giving a fitting farewell to the star bowler Stuart Broad.

ICC WTC Match Schedule

On 17th August 2022, the International Cricket Council (ICC) unveiled the 2023-2027 Future Tours Programme, outlining the series that would be integrated into the World Test Championship. In a departure from the full round-robin format, where all teams face each other equally, this cycle will see each team engaging in only six out of the other eight teams, as was the case in previous editions. The specific dates and locations for these series will be determined by the respective boards of the competing teams.
