After the completion of the Ashes Series 2023, Australia and England have been docked crucial ICC World Test Championship points and have been hit with fines for maintaining a slow over-rate during the men’s Ashes.
England defeated Australia to win the fifth Test, level the series, and prevent the visitors from winning their first series in the UK since 2001. Stuart Broad took the deciding wicket on his last day before retiring.
