Pakistan Fined and Docked 11 WTC Points for Slow Over-Rate in England Test Series
Pakistan cricket faced dual sanctions from the ICC after their 3-0 Test series loss to England. The team was fined 50% of their match fees and docked 11 World Test Championship points for maintaining a slow over-rate during the third Test at Edgbaston. Pakistan captain Babar Azam accepted the penalties without a formal hearing. The point deduction leaves Pakistan at the bottom of the WTC standings with a 4.63 points percentage, reflecting ongoing challenges following a turbulent England tour.
