England Docked Two WTC Points After Lord’s Test Victory.

The Ben Stokes-led England cricket team face a bit of a setback, as the International Cricket Council (ICC) has decided to dock 2 points from England’s tally in the World Test Championship standings. England have also been fined 10 per cent of their match fee for maintaining a slow over-rate against India in the third Test at Lord’s. In a release on Wednesday, ICC confirmed the penalties to the England team after Richie Richardson of the Emirates ICC Elite Panel of Match Referees confirmed the sanctions. England were ruled to be two overs short of the target after time allowances were taken into consideration.
