ICC Test Championship: New points system helps Aus topple India as No. 1

The International Cricket Council (ICC) has decided to change the point system of the World Test Championship, making a big decision late on Thursday night. The ICC has decided due to the coronavirus epidemic that the teams that reach the final of the Test Championship will be decided on the basis of percentage of points. According to the new system, India has lost its first position. The Australian team has reached the top.

Corona’s Caram Championship matches have been affected. The ICC Cricket Committee headed by Anil Kumble proposed a change in the point system. This was accepted by the ICC Board. Meanwhile, the ICC Board also informed that the Women’s T20 World Cup to be held in 2022 will now be played from 9 to 26 February 2023.

England had the team at number three, but new rules have pushed India to the second position. The Indian team has to play a four-Test series against Australia from December 17.
