Equal points system for next World Test Championship July 15, 2021 NEW DELHI: The International Cricket Council on Wednesday said the next World Test Championship will have a “simpler” equal points system to decide the finalists after the previous system came under criticism. The second championship will kick off with a five-Test series between hosts England and India in August and September. The ICC switched from the original system of total points to percentage of points won midway through the first championship which was severely disrupted by the coronavirus pandemic. Each match will now earn 12 points for a win, four for a draw and six for a tie, the ICC said in a statement.
