ICC acting chief executive Geoff Allardice said that the governing body took the feedback from the previous edition and decided to simplify the points distribution.

However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the ICC was forced to tweak the points system in 2020.Ĭhange in points system towards the end of 2020 In the event of a tie, points were equally divided between the teams, while a drawn Test gave the teams one-third of the points. Hence, a win in a two-match Test series was worth 60 points and 40 points for a Test win in a three-match series, with the maximum attainable points total of 120.
Every team was scheduled to play six series (home and away), and a maximum of 720 points were up for grabs. One Test series was worth a maximum of 120 points. Under the previous rules, ICC allotted points on a per-series basis. Teams will be docked one point for every fall behind. There is a penalty involved for slow over-rate as well. 4 points for each team in case of a draw.
