ICC to stick with percentage of points system for 2021-23: ICC CEO

The International Cricket Council (ICC) will stick to percentage-of-points-won method for ranking teams in the 2021-2023 World Test Championship (WTC) cycle, said Geoff Allardice, the apex body’s chief executive officer (CEO).

“We are going to stick with the percentage-of-points-won method to rank teams,” Allardice said.

“When we looked at the first 12 months of the competition you had teams on a number of points, but it was all relative to how many series they had played. So one of the ways to compare teams on an ongoing basis is what proportion of the points that have been available in the matches they played have been actually won. And that percentage served us well in the second half of the Championship,” he added.
