The International Cricket Council (ICC) announced the 2023-2027 Future Tours Programme on 17 August 2022 and identified which series will be a part of the World Test Championship Rather than being a full round-robin tournament in which everyone will play everyone else equally, each team played only six of the other eight as in the previous cycles. The exact dates and the venues of these series will be decided by the board of the competing teams. Here is ICC World Test Championship Points Table.
