Pakistan has faced a significant setback in the World Test Championship after receiving an 11-point deduction due to a slow over-rate during the match against England in Birmingham. As a consequence, players have also been docked 50% of their match fees.

This penalty has left Pakistan languishing at the bottom of the Championship standings, with only five points from nine matches. In contrast, Australia leads the table with South Africa not far behind.

Looking ahead, Pakistan is set to play their next tests against Sri Lanka in a two-match series at home in November, aiming for a turnaround in their Championship campaign.
