Ashes 2023: England drop below West Indies in WTC 2023-25 table after ICC slaps heavy points deduction penalty

The International Cricket Council (ICC) has slapped both England and Australia with heavy penalties for slow over-rates after the 2023 Ashes series. Under the revised slow over-rate sanctions, both England and Australia have been fined five per cent and faced a one World Test Championship (WTC) point deduction for every over short. England were found to be 19 overs short across five Test matches while Australia were found 10 overs short. Hence, England, who lost 12 points in the previous cycle, have suffered a deduction of 19 WTC points.
