Harmanpreet Kaur Advocates for Points-Based System in Women's Cricket Series

India's women's cricket team captain, Harmanpreet Kaur, has expressed her support for the implementation of a points-based system in multi-format cricket series. She believes that such a system would enhance motivation and add significance to each match.

In recent times, India has played multi-format home series against England and Australia without a points system. This will continue in the upcoming series against South Africa, which begins with ODIs on Sunday. However, Australia and England employ a points system in their women's multi-format Ashes series, ensuring that every match carries weight.

Kaur emphasized the importance of a points system, particularly for Test matches. Unlike other formats, Tests lack a marquee championship like the World Cup to provide context. As a result, Tests often suffer from a lack of significance.

India has recently achieved impressive victories in Tests against both England and Australia. However, the absence of a points system meant that India could not capitalize on these wins to secure an overall series victory.

Kaur believes that a points-based system would address this issue. "I think it's totally a BCCI or ICC thing," she said. "But as players, if points are there, I think we are more pumped up. I think it will be more challenging and we will love to have them."

The implementation of a points system in multi-format cricket series would not only enhance motivation but also provide a clearer indication of the overall winner. It would add context to each match and make the series more competitive and engaging for both players and fans.
