    "editor1": "<p>India will play Sri Lanka, New Zealand, and Australia at home and face Bangladesh, England, and South Africa away in the World Test Championship 2 (WTC 2) cycle that will run from 2021 to 2023, the International Cricket Council (ICC) confirmed in its release.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The ICC also confirmed the changed points system for the second edition of the WTC.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Each match of the upcoming WTC will now be contested for the same number of points -- 12 for a win, four for a draw, and six for a tie, a change from the previous system where the same number of points were allocated to each series, divided across the number of matches played.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;We received feedback that the previous points system needed to be simplified. The Cricket Committee took this into consideration when proposing a new, standardised points system for each match,&quot; said ICC Acting Chief Executive Geoff Allardice in a statement from ICC.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;It maintained the principle of ensuring that all matches in a WTC series count towards a team&#39;s standing while accommodating series varying in length between two Tests and five Tests,&quot; Allardice added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>As in the first edition of the championship, the nine teams will play six series each, three home and three away with the cut-off date being March 31, 2023.<\/p>\r\n",
