Pakistan Hit Historic Low After England Test Series Whitewash

Pakistan's Test cricket struggles have now translated into a record low in the ICC rankings.

The team dropped one place to ninth after England completed a 3-0 series whitewash. The West Indies moved above Pakistan, while Zimbabwe stayed 10th with 17 rating points.

Australia retained the No. 1 spot, with the rest of the top 10 largely unchanged. England remained fifth despite winning every match of the series.

Team	Position	Key update
Australia	1st	Remain top of the Test rankings
England	5th	Stay fifth despite 3-0 series win
Pakistan	9th	Lowest-ever position
West Indies	8th	Move one place above Pakistan
Zimbabwe	10th	Remain on 17 rating points

The latest ICC Test rankings reflect a miserable tour for Pakistan, who were outplayed from the opening day in England.

The first Test at Headingley ended in a heavy innings-and-103-run defeat. England then produced another commanding display at Lord's, winning by 194 runs to take an unassailable series lead.

That defeat triggered changes within the Pakistan setup, including the removal of head coach Sarfaraz Ahmed. The shake-up did little to alter the team's fortunes.

England wrapped up the series at Edgbaston with an eight-wicket victory, completing a clean sweep and leaving Pakistan with more questions than answers.

The decline goes beyond one series. Pakistan have won only seven of their last 20 Tests and have suffered six series whitewashes across their past 12 series.

Their position in the World Test Championship table is just as concerning. Pakistan have managed only two wins from nine matches and sit at the bottom with a win-loss ratio of 14.81.

For a side that has spent years searching for consistency in the longest format, the latest Pakistan Test rankings setback underlines how deep the problem has become.

The ninth-place finish is not just another movement on the table. It is the lowest point Pakistan have reached in the ICC Test rankings.
