England drops to No. 2 in ODI rankings after losing series to Australia

As a result of their 3-0 series loss to Australia, England drops to No. 2 in the MRF Tyres ICC Men’s ODI Team Rankings, giving New Zealand the top spot.

The current ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup champions suffered a rare loss that caused them to lose the top spot in the ODI rankings in just 10 days after they went from winning the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2022 to being thoroughly defeated in Australia.
