ICC World Test Championship 2019-21

In this article we will discuss about ICC World Test Championship 2019-21.

The 2019–21 ICC World Test Championship is the debut version of the ICC World Test Championship of Test cricket. It began from 1 August 2019 with the primary Test of the 2019 Ashes arrangement, and will complete with a last at Lord's in England in June 2021. If there should be an occurrence of a draw or a tie in the last, two groups playing the last will be announced as joint victors of the ICC World Test title. 


ICC Cricket


It highlights nine of the twelve Test playing countries, every one of whom will play a Test arrangement against six of the other eight groups. Every arrangement comprises of somewhere in the range of two and five matches, so albeit all groups will play six arrangement (three at home and three away), they won't play a similar number of Tests. Each group will almost certainly score a limit of 120 points from every arrangement and the two groups with the most focuses toward the finish of the class stage will challenge the last. 

Probably the Test arrangement in this Championship are a piece of a more drawn out continuous arrangement, for example, the 2019 Ashes arrangement. Likewise, a portion of these nine groups will play extra Test matches during this period which are not part of this Championship, as a major aspect of the ICC Future Tours Program for 2018–23, predominantly to offer games to the three Test having sides not taking impact in this challenge. On 29 July 2019, the ICC authoritatively propelled the World Test Championship. 

Regarding player garbs, all players will receive a squad number that is equivalent to their ODI and Twenty20I numbers, with players that solitary play Test cricket likewise being doled out a squad number. 

Format


The competition will be played more than two years. Each group will play with six different rivals, three at home and three away. Every arrangement will comprise of somewhere in the range of two and five Test matches. Consequently all members won't play a similar number of Tests, yet will play a similar number of arrangement. Toward the finish of the association arrange the main two groups will play a last in England in June 2021. Each match will be booked for a term of five days. 

Point 


The ICC chose that a similar number of focuses will be accessible from every arrangement, paying little mind to arrangement length, with the goal that nations that play less Tests are not hindered. It likewise chosen that focuses won't be granted for arrangement results, however for match results as it were. These will be part similarly between every one of the matches in the arrangement, paying little mind to whether a match is a dead rubber. In a five-coordinate arrangement, accordingly, 20% of the focuses will be accessible each match, while in a two-coordinate arrangement, half of the focuses will be accessible each match. 

Along these lines, contingent upon whether the arrangement is 2, 3, 4 or 5 matches in length, the quantity of focuses granted for a solitary match win will be an a large portion of, a third, a quarter, or a fifth of the most extreme conceivable from the arrangement. The ICC additionally chosen that a tie ought to be worth portion of a success and that a draw ought to merit 33% of a win.[11] This all implies after each match, a side could be granted an a large portion of, a third, a quarter, a fifth, a 6th, an eighth, a ninth, a tenth, a twelfth or a fifteenth of the all out focuses accessible from the arrangement, contingent upon the outcome and what number of matches the arrangement happens to comprise of. Eventually, this implies a figure for the all out focuses accessible from the arrangement should be picked in all respects cautiously, as relatively few numbers give all whole numbers when part into all these various divisions (360 does). Being a very composite number, when 120 is part into every one of these divisions, a whole number is gotten in all cases aside from one. 

Every arrangement will along these lines convey a limit of 120 with focuses disseminated as pursues.
