World Test Championship / There will be a change in WTC rules! India will get benefit if it wins in ENG

World Test Championship: The final match of the World Test Championship (WTC) 2023-25 ​​will be played in England from June 11 to June 15. After this, the new cycle of the World Test Championship (2025-27) will begin, which will start from June 2025 and run till 2027. This cycle will begin with a five-Test series between India and England. But before that, an important board meeting of the International Cricket Council (ICC) is to be held, in which some new rules will be discussed. These changes can make the competition in the WTC more exciting.

Will the rules of the World Test Championship change?

The bonus point system will be discussed in the ICC board meeting to be held in April. Under the current rules, the team gets 12 points for each win, while 6 points for a tie and 4 points for a draw. According to media reports, the ICC is now considering giving bonus points to teams winning by a big margin. Its aim is to make Test cricket more competitive and interesting.

More points for big wins

According to ICC sources, it has been proposed to give additional points for winning by an innings or by a big margin. Since the beginning of the WTC, it has been discussed that teams defeating strong teams should get additional rewards. For example, if a team wins by an innings against a strong opposition team, it can get more points. This change will inspire teams to play more aggressive cricket and reduce the chances of a draw.

Bonus for winning on foreign soil

The ICC is also considering another important change, in which additional points can be given to the team winning on foreign soil. If a team wins a Test match on the other team's home ground, it is proposed to give it more points. This will increase the competition in Test cricket further and teams will make extra efforts to win on foreign tours.

The 2025-27 WTC cycle will be more exciting

If these changes are implemented, the 2025-27 World Test Championship cycle can be more challenging and exciting. With the introduction of the bonus point system, teams will adopt more aggressive strategies and the results of matches may become more clear. The decisions of the ICC board meeting will also affect the Test series between India and England. Cricket fans will be eagerly waiting for the implementation of this new system.
