Despite India interest, WTC Final set to remain in England for three more cycles


England is likely to host the World Test Championship for another three cycles, reports suggest.

England has hosted all the WTC title clashes till now in 2021, 2023 and 2025 at Hampshire, the Oval and Lord’s respectively.

According to a report by the Guardianthe England and Wales Cricket Board has been informed that a decision to keep the event in England is likely to be ratified at the governing body’s annual conference in Singapore next month.

If the decision is confirmed England would continue to host the event until at least 2031.

In May, IPL chairperson Arun Singh Dhumal had informed the International Cricket Council of India’s ambitions to host the next WTC Final in 2027.

“If India reaches the next WTC final, then it will be a great spectacle for the fans. Even otherwise (if India does not feature in the final), a match involving two other top teams will have a lot of takers,” a source close to the development indicated then.
