Before the sanctions, England and Australia had 26 points each and a point percentage of 43.33. After the penalties, Australia dropped to 30 per cent while England plummeted to 15 per cent, taking them below West Indies at 16.67 per cent.
Having been whitewashed 2-0 at home, Sri Lanka are at the bottom with 0 points. Bangladesh, New Zealand and South Africa are yet to kickstart their campaign in the current iteration of the World Test Championship.
Adding to the misery, Australia lost their top spot in the ICC Men's Test Rankings as England made an impressive comeback from 2-0 to 2-2 in the Ashes. Tied on 118 points, India are on top on decimal points (118.4 points) as Australia (117.8) drop to second.
England are closing in on top after gaining one point from the drawn series, moving to 115 points.
