England Can Make Up For Two-point Deduction If Focus Is On Winning Games: Shastri
International Cricket Council: With England being docked two points for slow over rate deduction during their thrilling win at Lord’s, former India head coach Ravi Shastri said the Ben Stokes-led side can make up for their points deduction if their focus remains on winning matches.
On Wednesday, the International Cricket Council (ICC) said two points have been cut from England’s World Test Championship (WTC) tally and have been fined 10 per cent of their match fee. Subsequently, England's tally in the WTC standings has dropped from 24 to 22 out of 36 points, with their points percentage going from 66.67 per cent to 61.11 per cent.
As a result, England has slipped from second to third position in the WTC points table, with Sri Lanka now overtaking them to claim the second spot, and be just behind table toppers Australia.
