On 9 June 2024, it was proposed that this article be moved to World Test Championship. The result of the discussion was not moved.

Rename / rewrite may be needed

Not holding my breath, given previous failures to get this going, but if the ICC get their act in order then this article will need to be renamed / rewritten. I would propose that this article is left as an overall explanation of the format / winners of a Test Championship and have individual articles for a given occurrence of the League, but I have doubts that it will last more than 1 go.

Most Successful

Why Nz is in most successful section instead of Australia or India. Divyakaran Singh Joshi (talk) 10:08, 3 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Beacause they have won the single instance of this particular tournament. Spike 'em (talk) 11:22, 3 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Tie breakers

How is tie breaking determined? In the last season if australia did not lose 4 points due to slow over rate, australia would have been tied with NZ. The team higher RPWR would have advanced to final. But this season it is not mentioned 103.163.18.74 (talk) 15:06, 18 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
