ICC WORLD TEST CHAMPIONSHIP
THE ULTIMATE TEST OF CRICKET
The ICC World Test Championship, also called as the Test World Cup, is a league competition for Test cricket run by the International Cricket Council (ICC), which started on 1 August 2019. It is the premier championship for Test cricket. It is in line with the ICC's goal of having one pinnacle tournament for each of the three formats of international cricket. A nine-team global tournament, the WTC is a two year competition that sees an undisputed World Test champion crowned at the end of a league campaign and a showpiece decider. The format of the second edition is the same as the original though the point system has changed with each team playing three home and three away series to determine the qualifiers for the WTC Final.
