Is England still one of 'The Big 3'?

[max.it]

The BBC in their coverage of SA getting a place in the WTC referred to
England as one of the big three with Australia and India.

If being one of the big 3 isn't based on results, what is it based on?

Money?

Two excellent Tests over the last few days, one just finished between SA
and Pakistan and the other between Australia and India, which has swayed
to and fro and now looks in Australia's favour, largely thanks to
heroics with the bat by Cummins (not that surprising) and Lyon (rather
startling).

At 91-6 oz were in trouble, then i think marnus was dropped and oz
recovered, but
i was surprised that oz didnt declare once they were 300 ahead
yesterday. I expect it wont matter as india are already in trouble, but
time can be a factor on the 5th day. For India Bumrah has really carried
the attack by himself, whereas rohit and kohli really owe the team some
runs.
