There’s a lot of confusion among fans and experts regarding who will take the maiden World Test Championship trophy if New Zealand vs India final showdown ends in a draw. And as everyone remains in the dark of the fate of the Test. International Cricket Council is revisiting the final playing condition on the June 18 final in Southampton, reported Times of India.

Earlier ICC suggested on its website that an extra day will be reserved for the final if the match ended in the draw. However, the rules were later changed to declaring both the teams as joint champions if it’s a stalemate.

ICC now clarified to TOI that the reserve day only comes in use if the stipulated 30 hours of cricket in the first five days are lost due to bad weather or other reasons.

The ICC meeting on June 01 is expected to finalize the plan and make it public. As far as the concept of having joint-winners in case of a draw is concerned, the experts aren’t keen as such a scenario takes away the charm from the competition that is looking to find its feet in the cricketing spectrum.

“The idea of having joint winners also doesn’t sit very well given. It’s the first time a WTC final is being played. So, one has to have maximum options open to get a result out of the match. The ICC committee is working on it and it should be out this week,” the source added.
