Nathan Lyon Suggests Idea Of Three-match WTC Final

By IANS News September 04, 2024 • 13:26 PM View: 372

ICC World Test Championship: Australian spinner Nathan Lyon has suggested a unique idea of the ICC World Test Championship (WTC) final format, suggesting it to be played across three matches in multiple countries.

Lyon believes that instead of a one-match event where the fate of a series can depend on a single session, a multi-match final would better encapsulate the spirit of Test cricket.

"It's not tournament play. You can't just be scraping into the semi-finals and losing two games or what not. You've got to be consistent over the two years of the cycle.
