Under this, the next World Test Championship (WTC) can get more points for winning against the high ranked teams in the cycle. WTC’s 2025-27 cycle will begin with a 5-Test series between India and England in June.
According to the current rules, a team gets 12 points on victory. 6 marks are given when the match is tie and 4 marks on draw. According to a Telegraph report, the ICC is considering giving bonus points on a winning win or innings difference. At the same time,A source of ICC told PTI-
The issues like giving bonus points on the winning victory from the beginning of the championship are constantly talking. Many teams believe that they are not getting that much reward if they defeat big teams.
The source said-
Like last year New Zealand registered a historic victory over India. It is rare that India should beat a team in India, so additional marks should also be given for defeating it in the house of the rival team.
