London. The team of South Africa is very close to creating history. The team has dominated the World Test Championship against Australia. South Africa’s team is just 69 runs away from the victory and has eight wickets left. In such a situation, the Test can get a new champion this year. New Zealand in 2021 and Australia in 2023 won the title. However, the Indian team was part of the final in both the last two finals. After two defeats, India expressed a desire to host the World Test Championship final. However, India’s expectations seem to be shocked. Some media reports have revealed that the ICC is not ready to finalize in India. ICC is also going to signed an agreement for the next three -final window with England.

According to the report, despite the support of former India captain Rohit Sharma and Pat Cummins, the WTC final is unlikely to be transferred out of England. According to the report, the International Cricket Council has informed the England Cricket Board about its intention of hosting the final in England for the next three windows. He said, “Despite India expressing his desire to host this showpiece event, England cricket is close to agreeing with the ICC to host the next three World Test Championship Finals.”

The World Test Championship began at 2019. During this time, teams play Test series in the two -year cycle. Based on the point percentage, teams on top two clashes in the finals. Now the next Test Championship Final will be played in 2027. The BCCI expressed his desire to hold the final match in India after the defeat in the 2023 finals in front of the ICC.

The current ICC president is Jai Shah, who has also held the post of Secretary in BCCI. Jai Shah was the BCCI Secretary when India wished the final. According to the report, it has been discussed by ICC stakeholders, but he did not agree to hold a final in India. Now England is now likely to get approval for the final three editions (2027, 2029 and 2031) to host the final. The ICC may announce it at its next annual conference in Singapore in July.

The report states that this decision will be approved at the ICC annual conference in Singapore next month. At the same time, ECB will start planning for the WTC final of 2027 soon after the end of the finals between Australia and South Africa. Despite hosting the three finals of the World Test Championship, England failed to reach the final in the last three editions.
