england won the third Test against india by 22 runs. With this, england took second place in the World Test championship points table with a win percentage of 66.67. Even though australia was in first place, the ICC has now given a shock solution to the england team players. Accordingly, the england team players have been deducted points for taking too long to bowl in the london Lord's match. With this, england has been reduced from 24 points to 22 points. Due to this, their win percentage has fallen sharply. England's win percentage, which was 66.67% before this penalty, has now fallen to 61.1%. With this, england has dropped from second to third place in the points table. Following this, sri lanka has been caught for the second time. Similarly, according to ICC rules, as many points are penalized as overs are bowled less.
Similarly, if an over is bowled less, the players have to pay a fine of 5% of their match fee. In this regard, since the england team bowled two overs late, 10% of their match fee and 2 points have been deducted. Since stokes admitted to the complaint of bowling overs late, this investigation was not conducted. Meanwhile, the match was over before the end of 90 overs. But even after that, there was a question as to whether the fine and points should be deducted. It is noteworthy that england has lost points several times due to slow overrate and has not reached the final of the World Test championship points table.
