Official websiteICC World Test Championship

The 2023–2025 ICC World Test Championship was 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 finished in June 2025 with the final played between Australia and South Africa at Lord's.[2]

In the final, South Africa defeated Australia by 5 wickets to win their maiden championship. This was also their second ICC trophy after 1998.[3]

Format

The tournament consisted of 69 matches played between nine teams across 27 series in the league stage. The top two teams in the points table at the end of the league stage competed 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.[4][5]

Points system

The points system remained largely unchanged from the previous edition. Teams failing to meet the required over rate got one point deducted for each over they were behind at the end of a match, except in cases where they bowled their opponents out in 80 overs in an innings, or 160 overs over the course of the match.[6] As in the previous edition, the teams are ranked in the league table based on percentage of total points won out of contested points.[7]

Points system
Match result Points earned Points contested Percentage of points won

Tie 6 12 50
Draw 4 12 33.33
Loss 0 12 0

Participants

Nine of the 12 full members of the International Cricket Council (ICC) participated in the championship:[4]

The three full members of the ICC who did not participate were Afghanistan, Ireland and Zimbabwe.

Schedule

The ICC announced the 2023–2027 Future Tours Programme on 17 August 2022, which identified the series that were part of the World Test Championship.[8][9] According to the schedule, each team played six of the other eight teams, and the dates and venues of each series were decided by the boards of the competing teams.[4]
