They host India, South Africa, and New Zealand.The International Cricket Council (ICC) confirmed the changed points system for the second edition of the WTC.Each match of the upcoming WTC will now be contested for the same number of points 12 for a win, four for a draw, and six for a tie, a change from the previous system where the same number of points were allocated to each series, divided across the number of matches played."We received feedback that the previous points system needed to be simplified. The Cricket Committee took this into consideration when proposing a new, standardised points system for each match," said ICC acting Chief Executive Geoff Allardice in an ICC statement."It maintained the principle of ensuring that all matches in a WTC series count towards a team's standing, while accommodating series varying in length between two Tests and five Tests," he said.As in the first edition of the championship, the nine teams will play six series each, three home and three away with the cut-off date being March 31, 2023.Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
