New Delhi, Sept 21: The International Cricket Council announced in a release on Wednesday that the 2021–2023 World Test Championship game will take place at the Oval in London. The final of the 2023–25 cycle will be held at the venerable Lord’s in London, according to the ICC.
“The International Cricket Council (ICC) today confirmed that the ICC World Test Championship (WTC) Final 2023 will be played at The Oval in London with the 2025 edition to take place at Lord’s,” the statement read.
“We are delighted to be hosting next year’s ICC World Test Championship Final at The Oval which has such a rich legacy and an amazing atmosphere, which is ideal for such an important fixture on the calendar,” ICC chief Geoff Allardice was quoted as saying.
The World Test Championship final, originally slated to take place at Lord’s, was switched to the Southampton Rose Bowl for the first edition in 2021.
