India suffered a setback after England’s thrilling 22 -run win at Lord’s, as the ICC docked him two points at a slow pace. However, former India head coach Ravi Shastri believes that Penalty will not hurt England until he focuses on winning the match.The ICC on Wednesday announced that England were fined 10% of their match fee and lost two points in the World Test Championship (WTC) standing. His total fell from 24 to 22 points, his percentage fell from 66.67% to 61.11%. As a result, England slipped to third place at the table, in which Sri Lanka finished second behind Australia.

Shastri told how Australia paid the price for a similar mistake in the first WTC cycle. “It hurts as Australia, revealed in the first cycle of the World Testing Championship. They had a slow rate against India and spent them in second place and qualified for that final. So you have come to know about all this. There will be some games where they probably make it,” Shastri said in a video posted on the ICC Instagram handle.He said that the key for England is to focus on the winning games. “But I think more than the higher rate, you have to think about winning. If you focus on winning, come in the last six months, you might try and adjust, see how you can take back those two points or get some of that kind back. But you have got to win, it’s more important.” “It doesn’t matter,” the experienced said, but said that only one thing about England has to be disturbed, the game has to be won.

Meanwhile, former England captain Michael Vaughan questioned why England were punished at rates only when there was a mistake between the two teams. Vaughan wrote on X, “How only one team was reprimanded is beyond me.”India and England will face again in Old Trafford in the fourth Test starting on July 23 Cricket Ground in Manchester.
