How are the points calculated in WTC 2023?

England vs Australia 4th Ashes Test England have been fined 19 World Test Championship (WTC) points for slow over rate in the Ashes Test series. As a result, England fell down at fifth position in the latest standings of the two-year-long tournament. The Australian team too faced 10 points penalty, but still remained in the third position in the points table.

The International Cricket Council (ICC) introduced these sanctions after the ICC Annual Conference in Durban, South Africa on Thursday, July 13. These sanctions would also take into account all the matches played before the announcement of the new regulation, retrospectively. “England fell two overs short in the first Test at Edgbaston, nine in the second Test at Lord’s, three in the fourth Test at Old Trafford, and five in the last and final Test at The Oval,” ICC press release said.

For every over short, one point would be deducted from all points earned by the team. The decision would be conveyed to the teams after the end of the series. Australia fell only 10 overs short during the fourth Test in Manchester and hence were docked only 10 points. Picture depicting how England and Australia were docked WTC points during the Ashes.

India, West Indies, Sri Lanka and Pakistan were the other four teams involved in Test cricket apart from England and Australia in Ashes.

While India won the two-match series against West Indies 1-0, Pakistan whitewashed the Sri Lankans 2-0 away from home. The Ashes was drawn 2-2. All these results combined with slow over-rate penalties have put Pakistan at the top of the points table while Sri Lanka sits at the bottom. England and Australia could have been in the third position jointly, but 19 point penalty means that the English only have 15 percentage points from the 100 that they could have had and lie in the fifth position.

How is the percentage of points calculated in the WTC points table? Each win in WTC gives 12 points while a draw gives four points. There are obviously no points for a loss while a tie can fetch 6 points. Since teams play series varying from two matches to five matches, therefore not all of them could have a similar number of points.

• As a result, the percentage of points (PCT) system was created by the ICC to make all series equal despite the varying number of matches.
• So, if a series has five games and Team A wins all the matches, it will have 60 points and 100 percentage points as they won 60/60.
• At the same time, another Team B wins two games out of two.

So though it will have only 24 points, its percentage of points will remain at 100. Percentage of Points = Number of points won divided by the total number of points available multiplied by 100. WTC 2023-25 Points Table

What is the points table for ICC Test Championship 2023 India?

2019-2021 Standings – PCT (%): Percentage, L: Number of matches lost, SER: Number of series played, PTS: Number of points awarded D: Number of matches drawn, PEN: Number of penalty overs, W: Number of matches won The points system came in for an overhaul for the second WTC cycle.

Unlike the first edition, where teams were ranked on the basis of total point percentage, this time around, 12 points would be up for grabs for a team in each match. A win would give the team 12 points, a tie 6 points, a draw 4 points and 0 points for a defeat. Besides, if found guilty of slow over rate, a team would be penalised one point.

Australia topped the table with 152 points and a percentage of 66.7 after winning 11 Tests out of 19. India finished 2nd with 127 points and a percentage of 58.8.

Is ashes counted in WTC?

The third edition of the ICC World Test Championship cycle begins with a clash between a resurgent England side and reigning champions Australia and will end with a Final at Lord’s in 2025. Australia might still be revelling in their triumph over India in the ICC World Test Championship Final 2023 but will have to quickly shift their focus to the next WTC cycle that starts with a clash against arch-rivals England on 16 June.

The five-Test Ashes series will kickstart the World Test Championship 2023-25 cycle that is set to include 68 matches scheduled across 27 series and the third WTC Final to be played at Lord’s in 2025. The nine teams set to participate in the WTC 2023-25 cycle are Australia, Bangladesh, England, India, New Zealand, Pakistan, South Africa, Sri Lanka and West Indies.

Each WTC series in the cycle will include two to five Tests, with the nine competing teams each playing six series – three at home, and three away. The top two teams in the WTC standings will then qualify for the Final at Lord’s. Australia topped the standings in the 2021-23 cycle on their way to a first WTC mace, and captain Pat Cummins is confident they can back up the stirring result starting in the series against England.

As in the WTC 2021-23 cycle, the England-India Test series will again be contested across five matches, as will the Ashes. The Border-Gavaskar Trophy series between WTC 2023 finalists Australia and India will also be played over five Tests for the first time since 1992. The nine teams do not necessarily play the same number of matches in the WTC cycle, with the standings determined by the percentage of all possible points earned.

England will feature in the greatest number of Test matches during the WTC cycle with 21, while Australia (19) and India (19) will also line up in regular five-day fixtures. Each Test included in the World Test Championship has 12 points available for a win, with four awarded to each team for a draw, and six to each team for a tie.

Why do India and Pakistan not play Test cricket?

The launch of the World Test Championship (WTC) by the International Cricket Council (ICC) to promote Test cricket turned out to be a great move as the event attracted huge viewership from all over the world, and interest in this format of the game was re-established among cricket enthusiasts.

1. Notably, the WTC is conducted in a two-year cycle, with teams from different nations competing in the tournament to acquire the top two spots.
2. They will then lock horns in the final for the coveted Test mace.
3. The event commenced for the first time in 2019 and has so far undergone two successful cycles.

While New Zealand won the inaugural edition of WTC, the most recent WTC 2021-23 saw Australia emerge victorious and lift the trophy by defeating India. Meanwhile, the schedule for the third cycle of WTC (2023-25) has also been announced by the ICC, However, former India opener turned cricket commentator Aakash Chopra is not thrilled with the fixtures of the upcoming event.

• Assessing the WTC 2023-25 schedule on his official YouTube channel, Aakash slammed ICC over no India-Pakistan match in the Championship.
• He further stated that one couldn’t even imagine an international event without the India versus Pakistan battle.
• You don’t play against all teams.
• But this is WTC, it’s an ICC event.

It has been 4 years now can you imagine an ICC event without India vs Pakistan? This can never happen. It’s always at the start of the tournament so it gets off to a great start commercially. It gets the highest rating and people make money,” said Aakash.

So, is WTC not an ICC event? It’s an ICC mace, they host the final. So, all the matches that take place in the cycle should be in the purview of the ICC. It will be 6 years, and you didn’t have a single India-Pakistan series. This is also an ICC event. If it’s not, make it clear. Call it bilateral cricket and accept that you have made WTC just to glamorize Tests,” he added.

It is worth mentioning that arch-rivals India and Pakistan have not played any Test against each other since 2007 due to political tension between the two nations. The two sides have also not competed in any bilateral series after 2012-13 and only face each other in ICC and ACC events.

How many points do you get for winning a Test match?

Men’s cricket – Andrew Strauss, who announced the first use of the points system in men’s cricket In May 2016, it was confirmed that a multiformat points system would be used for England’s summer series against Sri Lanka and Pakistan, The points system would be the same as the system used in the 2015 Women’s Ashes series, with four points being awarded for winning a Test match, and two points being awarded for winning a One Day International or Twenty20 International.

The winning team under the points system will be awarded £25,000. Director of England Cricket Andrew Strauss, who announced the new points system, said that “We’re trying to create more context to every game that’s played.” Sri Lankan captain Angelo Mathews was opposed to the points system, saying “I don’t like to move away from the traditional game but whatever the administrators decide we’ll have to go with and move on”, whilst former England captain Michael Vaughan called the new system “nonsense”.

Former Australian bowler Jason Gillespie said that the points system was worth a trial, as it had been successful in The Women’s Ashes, England won on points in both tours, 20–4 and 16–12. The points system has not been used again in men’s international cricket.
