This will be the first time that Lord's will host the WTC Final.
In a recent development coming in, the International Cricket Council (ICC) has revealed the dates for next year’s World Test Championship (WTC) Final, slated to be held at Lord’s. The news was confirmed by the ICC in an official media release.
The one-off Test match is scheduled to take place at the iconic venue in London from June 11 to June 15, 2025, with June 16 set aside as a reserve day if needed.
This will mark the first time Lord’s hosts the World Test Championship final, with previous editions held at Southampton (2021) and The Oval (2023), where New Zealand and Australia emerged victorious, respectively.
The final will feature the top two teams from the standings at the end of the current cycle, with Rohit Sharma’s India currently leading the pack ahead of defending champions Australia.
