England to Host Next Three World Test Championship Finals
The International Cricket Council (ICC) has decided that England will host the World Test Championship (WTC) finals in 2027, 2029, and 2031.
This means the games will be played in England.
The decision was made because England has done a great job hosting the finals before.
The Indian cricket board (BCCI) wanted to host a final, but the ICC chose England instead.
The ICC made the decision during a meeting in Singapore.
England had previously hosted the finals in 2021, 2023 and will host in 2025.
ICC grants England hosting rights for the 2027, 2029, and 2031 World Test Championship (WTC) finals.
The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) will host the finals, following its successful track record.
This decision was made during the ICC’s Annual General Meeting (AGM) in Singapore.
