ICC takes BIG decision over BCCI’s proposal of…

New Delhi: The Board of Control for Cricket in India’s (BCCI) dream of hosting the World Test Championship Final (WTC Final) may remain unfulfilled for a few years. BCCI may get a big shock from the International Cricket Council (ICC). Since the inception of WTC, the final matches have been held in England. At the same time, BCCI had put forward the matter of holding the WTC Final in India to the ICC, but according to the Telegraph report, England will host the next three WTC Finals as well.

BCCI will have to wait for 8 years:
If England remains in control of the World Test Championship till the 2029-31 season, then India will have to wait for about eight long years to host the WTC final. According to the report, it can be announced in the ICC’s annual conference to be held in Singapore in July 2025 that England will host the WTC final for the next three times as well.

BCCI did not get a chance:
The Board of Control for Cricket in India has been trying continuously for the last six years to get India the hosting rights of the WTC Final. But despite the ever-increasing influence of BCCI in world cricket, it could not get the hosting rights. Former BCCI secretary Jay Shah is currently the chairperson of the ICC, despite this, this opportunity seems to be slipping out of India’s hands.

The power of the WTC final is in the hands of England:
The first final of the World Test Championship was played in the year 2021, which took place between India and New Zealand in Southampton, England. At the same time, the second WTC final was played in 2023 between India and Australia at the Oval ground in London. Now the third final is being played between Australia and South Africa at Lord’s.
