The ICC has initiated the ICC World Test Championship with the aim of giving a new lease of life to the longest format of the game. The organizers have grouped the top nine Test playing countries of the world into a single league, where each team will play three home series and three away series. After the culmination of the league stage, the top two teams will meet in the grand finale at Lord's.
Australia have a phenomenal record in ICC tournaments, and they will try to add one more trophy to their decorated cabinet by dominating the other Test teams of the world. With Steve Smith and David Warner back into the mix, expect the Aussies to play to their full potential in this tournament.
