The ICC World Test Championship is a cricket tournament organized by the International Cricket Council (ICC) to determine the best Test cricket team in the world. Here's some information about the ICC World Test Championship:

1. Format: The ICC World Test Championship is a league-style tournament featuring the top nine Test-playing nations. Each team plays a series of Test matches against the other teams over a two-year period.

2. Points System: In each Test series, teams can earn points based on the results. A win earns a team 120 points, a tie earns 60 points, and a draw earns 30 to 60 points based on the match duration. The points are divided equally if a match is abandoned or declared a no-result.

3. Final Match: At the end of the two-year cycle, the top two teams in the points table qualify for the ICC World Test Championship Final. The final is a one-off match to determine the champion. In case of a draw or a tie in the final, the team with the most points in the league stage is declared the winner.

4. Inaugural Edition: The inaugural ICC World Test Championship started in August 2019 and concluded with the final match held in June 2021. The final was contested between India and New Zealand at The Rose Bowl in Southampton, England. New Zealand emerged as the champions by defeating India.
