The hosts have lost two tests but won every series -- 15 in a row after the 2-0 sweep of Sri Lanka.

West Indies on Monday slipped to eighth spot in the World Test Championship standings after being penalised by two points for slow over-rate during their drawn first Test against England in Antigua.

As a result, West Indies were fined 40 per cent of their match fee and were also penalised two points in the ICC World Test Championship standings, dropping below Bangladesh to eighth place in the nine-steam standings.
