London: International Cricket Council (ICC) confirmed on Tuesday that the third edition of the ICC World Test Championship (WTC) final will be held at the historic Lord’s Cricket Ground in London.

The much-anticipated event is scheduled from June 11-15, 2025, with a reserve day on June 16, if required. This marks the first time Lord’s will host the WTC final, with previous editions being held at Southampton in 2021 and The Oval in 2023. The inaugural final saw New Zealand claim victory, while Australia emerged as the champions in the second edition. The final will feature the top two teams on the WTC standings after the current cycle. India, led by Rohit Sharma, currently leads the standings, followed closely by the reigning champions, Australia. However, with several points still up for grabs, teams like New Zealand, England, Sri Lanka, South Africa, and Bangladesh remain strong contenders for a place in the final. ICC CEO Geoff Allardice expressed his excitement about the upcoming final, noting the growing significance of the event in the cricketing calendar. Fans eager to witness the 2025 WTC final at Lord’s can now register their interest in tickets, with demand expected to be high for what promises to be a historic contest.
