ICC fines Pakistan 50 percent match fee and docks 11 WTC points

The ICC has fined Pakistan 50 percent of their match fee and deducted 11 World Test Championship points for a slow over-rate in the third Test against England at Edgbaston. The team finished 11 overs short after time allowances were applied.

Captain Babar Azam accepted the sanction without a formal hearing. The deduction follows England's 3-0 series victory and leaves Pakistan ninth in the WTC standings with a points percentage of 4.63.

Pakistan have received similar penalties in recent Test series. Officials have urged stricter compliance with over-rate regulations.
