The International Cricket Council (ICC) has initiated the ICC World Test Championship to give Test cricket a new lease of life. The top 9 cricketing nations of the world qualified for this two-year-long tournament which got underway from July 2019. The final of the ICC World Test Championship will be played at Lord's in June 2021.
All the teams will play against 6 of the other teams. Each team will take part in three home and three away series. Since the number of Test matches in each series will not be the same, ICC has decided to keep 120 points at stake for one Test series.
The points in the ICC World Test Championship are calculated as follows:
