World Test Championship final likely to be played at the Oval: Reports
Earlier, reports had emerged that the World Test Championship (WTC) final be played at the Oval beginning on June 7, 2023. Although an official confirmation from the International Cricket Council (ICC) is still awaited, a reported carried out by Cricbuzz had claimed that much like the final of the 2019-21 cycle of the WTC which was played in Southampton, the 2021-23 final will have the provision of a reserve day.
If the WTC final is confirmed to happen on the said date, it could be pretty close to the Indian Premier League (IPL) final which, the same report has claimed could happen on May 28 or June 4. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) could tweak in the IPL schedule a bit in case India qualify for the WTC final.
