Consideration has been done on how to make the ICC World Test Championship more interesting. The ICC meeting will be held in April. In the board meeting to be held in this meeting, the ICC is considering giving bonus points. This change can be seen from the 2025-27 cycle of the World Test Championship. More points can be obtained for winning against a higher ranked team.

The 2025-27 cycle of the World Test Championship will start from June. The first series of this cycle will be played between India and England. This series will be of five Test matches. Under the current rules, the team that wins by a small margin or an innings margin is awarded 12 points, six points for a tie and four points for a draw.

Bonus points will be given for defeating big teams

According to a Telegraph report, the ICC is considering giving bonus points for winning by a big margin or winning by an innings margin. A source said that since the start of the WTC, issues like giving bonus points for innings wins are being discussed continuously. Many teams believe that they are not getting as much reward for defeating big teams.

Former Indian player called this a good initiative

A former Indian player said that if this happens, it will be a good initiative. Teams will be inspired to play for the result and we will get to see exciting matches. The ICC is also thinking of giving additional points for winning on the opponent's ground. The source said that this would also be motivating. Like last year New Zealand registered a historic victory in India. It rarely happens that a team defeats India in India, hence additional points should be given even for defeating the rival team in its home ground.
