The International Cricket Council is likely to revise the reward system for the upcoming Test cycles, which might encourage teams to grab big wins. According to the likely revised rules, a bigger win will grant more points. As per a report published by the Telegraph, an inning win will make the winning team earn 12 points. A tie will give six points, whereas a draw will grant four points. An overseas win might award the winning team more points. According to a report, the global governing body is exploring the possibility of introducing bonus points for dominant victories. This could include rewards for teams securing wins by an innings or by a significant margin, such as 100 runs. Additionally, the ICC is considering awarding extra points for defeating top-ranked teams like India, Australia, and England. The move aims to add more competitiveness to rankings and encourage teams to push for emphatic results. A source from BCCI anonymously informed PTI, "Yeah, it’s a good move if it really happens. The teams will be more motivated to go for results, as we could see some exciting games. Yeah, it will be a motivating factor for, you know, those ‘smaller’ teams. When New Zealand beat India last year, it was a historic win for them as not many teams came here and beat us. But they did not got any extra points for it. While winning away from home in itself can act as a motivating factor, now the teams will have that carrot in front of them — extra points, if it really happens."
