The 2023–2025 ICC World Test Championship is an ongoing tournament of Test Cricket which is the third edition of the ICC World Test Championship. It started in June 2023 with The Ashes, which was contested between England and Australia,[1] and it is scheduled to finish in June 2025 with the final match planned to be played at Lord's.[2]
Format
The tournament consists of 27 series and 69 matches in the league stage. The top two teams in the points table compete at the final at Lord's, London. Each team plays six series, three at home and three away, with each series containing two to five Test matches.[3]
Points system
The points system was unchanged from the previous edition. A win was worth all 12 points, a tie was worth 6 points each, a draw was worth 4 points each, and a loss was worth 0 points. A team that was behind the required over rate at the end of a match would have one point deducted for each over it was behind. As in the previous edition, teams were ranked in the league table based on percentage of total points won out of total points contested.
Match result | Points earned | Points contested | Percentage of points won |
---|---|---|---|
Win | 12 | 12 | 100 |
Tie | 6 | 12 | 50 |
Draw | 4 | 12 | 33.33 |
Loss | 0 | 12 | 0 |

Schedule
The International Cricket Council (ICC) announced the 2023–2027 Future Tours Programme on 17 August 2022 and identified which series was a part of the World Test Championship.[5][6] Rather than being a full round-robin tournament in which everyone played everyone else equally, each team played only six of the other eight as in the previous cycles. The exact dates and the venues of these series will be decided by the boards of the competing teams.
