Guyana August 2019 2019 paved the way for the long-awaited ICC World Test Championship. The Indian team is at the top of the championship which is currently suspended due to the crown. But Caribbean legend Michael Holding called the ICC World Championship point system “ridiculous.” He doesn’t even think that the systematic structure of the championship will be very effective in the future.

The road to the 2019 ICC World Test Championships is well on its way to making the two-way series more competitive and exciting. The final of the first edition of the World Test Championship will take place next year with the two teams at the top of the points table. However, there are questions about how effective it will be in the current situation.

But Holding has questioned the structural structure of the championship. According to him, after a time when the two finalists are practically confirmed, the rest of the teams will lose interest in the championship. As a result, the bilateral series will no longer be important. In an interview with Wisden Monthly, he said the championship will not be very effective in the future. First of all, the point system of this championship is ridiculous. ”According to Holding, you can accumulate as many points as you can by playing a series of two tests, but you cannot accumulate those points by playing a series of five tests.

Second, after a certain period of time, it will be clear who will go to the final. And when that is confirmed, the Test series will be the norm for the rest. English fast pitcher Chris Oakes participated in the cricket talks with Wisden Monthly.

He also found some systemic flaws in the World Test Championship. In his words, the final of this championship should never be a match. A test match has a great impact on the pitch or the surrounding situation. Oaks suggested that the World Test Championships final be played in at least three games if enough time can be found.
