The International Cricket Council (ICC) has confirmed the dates for the WTC 2025 finals to be played at Lord’s. The one-off test will be played at the iconic venue from June 11 to 15 2025, with June 16 available as a reserve day if required.
It will be the first time that Lord’s has been used for the WTC finals with Southampton as the venue for the first edition in 2021 and The Oval as the venue for the second edition in 2023 which were won by New Zealand and Australia respectively.
The match will be played between the top two sides on the standings after the current cycle, with Rohit Sharma’s India currently sitting in top position ahead of reigning champions Australia in the WTC points table.
The top two teams are set to face each other in a five-match series in Australia later this year which could significantly impact the chances of reaching the finals.
There are still plenty of points available for the teams with New Zealand, England Sri Lanka, South Africa, and Bangladesh still considered the potential contender for a place in the one-off decider.
Fans will get the chance to register their interest for tickets for the World Test Championship final and ICC CEO Geoff Allardice expects demand to be high for the eagerly awaited contest.
“The ICC World Test Championship Final has quickly become one of the most anticipated events in the cricketing calendar and we are pleased to announce the dates for the 2025 edition.”
“It’s a testament to the enduring appeal of Test cricket, which continues to captivate fans around the world. Tickets will be in high demand so I would encourage fans to register their interest now to ensure they are in with a chance of attending the Ultimate Test next year,” concluded Geoff Allardice.
