Nathan Lyon on World Test Championship Final: Australia’s star spinner Nathan Lyon has made a big statement about the World Test Championship. Nathan Lyon believes that the final of the World Test Championship should be a three-match Test series. Its result should not be drawn from one match.
Nathan Lyon, who has taken 530 wickets in Test cricket, said, “One thing I would like to see is that the WTC Final be a three-match Test series instead of a single Test match. It might be a little better, because you can lose a Test match in a season, whereas a three-match Test series will allow you to come back. Then you can show your impact.”
Lyon further said that you can play this series in three different countries. He said, “You can play one Test in England, one in Australia and one in India. You will have different conditions.” Let us tell you that looking at the points table so far, it seems that this time too the final match of the World Test Championship will be played between India and Australia.
The final of the World Test Championship will be played next year
The date of the final match of the World Test Championship 2025 has been announced. The final match will be played on 11-15 June at England’s historic ground Lord’s. In case of need, a reserve day has been kept on 16 June. This will be the third final match in the history of the World Test Championship and Lord’s is going to host the title clash for the first time.
Australia had won the last final, India lost twice
It is worth noting that Australia won the last World Test Championship. The Kangaroos defeated Team India in the final. New Zealand won the title in the first round of the World Test Championship. The Kiwi team also defeated India in the final. The Indian team reached the WTC final both times, but could not win the title both times.
