The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is considering bringing the World Test Championship (WTC) final for the 2025-2027 cycle to Indian soil. While the proposal is yet to be finalized, the prospect marks a significant moment for Indian cricket fans and the current ICC Chairman Jay Shah.
Historically, England has been the host for the WTC title showdowns, with previous finals held at Hampshire and The Oval in 2021 and 2023, respectively. This potential shift to India comes as discussions were held in Zimbabwe during the ICC's chief executives meeting, where IPL chairman Arun Dhumal was present to represent BCCI's interests.
The enthusiasm surrounding this possibility is palpable, as it promises a thrilling spectacle should India reach the final. However, the delicate state of India-Pakistan relations could pose challenges if both teams qualify for the championship showdown.
