The ICC World Test Championship final between India and New Zealand, which was scheduled to be performed at cricket’s most iconic venue Lords, will now take place in Southampton. BCCI President Sourav Ganguly confirmed the event to India Today on Monday.
However, there was no affirmation by the worldwide cricket governing physique, ICC, in this regard.
“I’m looking forward to attending the World Test Championship final between India and New Zealand in Southampton,” Ganguly instructed India Today.
“Yeah, it is in Southampton. It was decided long time ago. Due to Covid and they [in Southampton] have the hotel absolutely close. When England resumed play after Covid, they had a lot of matches in Southampton due to the same reason,” the previous India skipper added.
