WTC Final: Australia Have It Easy Thanks To Covid-19 As England, India Battle

By IANS News February 16, 2021 • 22:54 PM View: 2207

India and England, who are battling each other to reach the World Test Championship (WTC) final against New Zealand, have had to play multiple series away from home while Australia, who also remain in strong contention, have played little Test cricket outside their country.

Australia has played just one away series in the WTC whereas England and India have played three each. The Aussies were supposed to play two more away series in this cycle - against Bangladesh and South Africa, but Covid-19 ensured the postponement of those tours.
