World Test Championship Final moved to Southampton

India will play their inaugural World Test Championship final against New Zealand at Southampton’s Ageas Bowl Stadium from June 18-22, BCCI President Sourav Ganguly confirmed on Monday. 

Initially, the final was supposed to be held at the Lord’s but Southampton, with a five-star facility inside the stadium, will make it easier for both the ICC and the England and Wales Cricket Board to create a bio-bubble for the two teams. 

India qualified for the marquee clash after beating England 3-1 in a just-concluded Test series.
