ICC
Chief
Executive
Geoff
Allardice
said
he
was
pleased
to
confirm
two
iconic
venues

cycles.
ICC
Chief
Executive
Geoff
Allardice
said:
“We
are
delighted
to
be
hosting
next
year’s
ICC
World
Test
Championship
Final
at
The
Oval
which
has
such
a
rich
legacy
and
an
amazing
atmosphere,
which
is
ideal
for
such
an
important
fixture
on
the
calendar.
Following
that
we
will
then
take
the
2025
Final
to
Lord’s
which
will
provide
a
fitting
backdrop
to
the
ultimate
Test.
“Last
year’s
final
between
New
Zealand
and
India
in
Southampton
was
an
engrossing
encounter
and
I
am
sure
fans
the
world
over
would
be
looking
forward
to
the
next
WTC
final
at
The
Oval.
On
behalf
of
the
ICC,
I
would
like
to
thank
the
England
and
Wales
Cricket
Board,
Surrey
County
Cricket
Club
and
Marylebone
Cricket
Club
for
their
support.”
Steve
Elworthy,
CEO
of
Surrey
County
Cricket
Club,
said:
“It’s
a
real
honour
that
The
Oval
has
been
selected
to
host
the
final
of
the
World
Test
Championship.
To
have
the
two
best
teams
in
the
world
playing
here
in
south
London
will
be
a
fantastic
occasion.
Next
year
promises
to
be
a
superb
summer
of
cricket
at
The
Oval
and
this
match
will
be
a
brilliant
part
of
it.”
Marylebone
Cricket
Club
(MCC)
Chief
Executive
and
Secretary
Guy
Lavender
said:
“We
are
delighted
that
Lord’s
will
be
hosting
the
ICC
World
Test
Championship
Final
in
2025.
It
is
fantastic
news
that
the
ICC
has
opted
to
host
the
next
two
finals
in
London,
with
both
grounds
providing
fitting
venues
for
the
culmination
of
the
championship.”
The
dates
for
both
the
2023
and
2025
ICC
World
Test
Championship
Finals
will
be
confirmed
in
due
course.
England
had
been
identified
as
the
hosts
for
the
next
two
WTC
Finals
during
the
ICC
Annual
General
Meeting
in
Birmingham
