The BCCI has announced Team India’s squads for the WTC final and the five-match Test series against England in August. The World Test Championship final will be played at Southampton from 18-22 June after which the five-match Test series against England starts from August 4.
Both India and New Zealand played some fantastic cricket to get to the final. New Zealand beat teams like India, West Indies and Pakistan to reach the finals. They became the first team to reach the final after Australia postponed their tour to South Africa over COVID-19 concerns.
India, on the other hand, beat teams like England and Australia after losing to the Kiwis to kickstart their World Test Championship campaign. They beat Bangladesh, South Africa and England at home during this campaign and registered a memorable overseas win against Australia down under.
The ICC laid down the playing conditions for the WTC final. The teams playing the WTC final will be announced ‘joint winners’ if the Test match ends in a tie or a draw. This was one of the decisions the ICC had to make ahead of the big final. There will also be a ‘reserve day’ as well for the final but will only be used in case overs are lost in the regular phase of play.
