ICC Confirms Venue Shift From Lord's To Southampton For WTC Final

By AFP News March 10, 2021 • 17:08 PM View: 2485

The inaugural World Test Championship final between India and New Zealand will be held in a bio-secure bubble in Southampton, ending hopes that the event could be safely staged at Lord's.

The plan had originally been to have the marquee match take place at the "home of cricket" in June but the ongoing shadow of the coronavirus pandemic forced a rethink.
