England sets out on the field during the fifth day of 3. England on a thrilling 22 victory over India at Lord’s followed by failure, because ICC anchored two points for a slow level. However, the former head coach of India Ravi Shastri believes that the punishment will not hurt England as long as he focuses on victory.ICC announced on Wednesday that England was fined 10% of its fee for the match and lost two points in the World Championship ranking (WTC). Their total number fell from 24 to 22 points, with their percentage dropped from 66.67% to 61.11%. As a result, England slipped to third place on the table, Sri Lanka moved to a second behind the Australia.

Shastri pointed out how Australia paid a price for a similar mistake in the first WTC cycle. “It hurts as Australia found out in the first World Cup cycle. They were slowly over India and it was second and Zealand qualified for this final. So we have to be fully aware of it.He added that the key to England is to focus on victory. “But I think more than just an excessive rate, you have to think of victory. If you focus on victory, then come for the last six months, you can probably try to adjust, find out how you can get these two points back or something. But you have to win, that’s more important.” “That will not matter,” the veteran said, but claimed that the only thing that England must be harassed is to maintain victory.
