Sri Lanka, Nov. 20 -- The International Cricket Council (ICC) has confirmed the World Test Championship (WTC) points system will be amended, since several matches test series have been cancelled due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Therefore, a decision has been taken to decide the finalists on the basis of the percentage of points earned from the matches that have been played.
