London will brace itself to see Australia crowned as world champions once again on English soil, with Pat Cummins declaring he can't wait to defend the World Test Championship mace in the final against South Africa in June.
Cummins' team's six-wicket victory over India in Sydney sealed their place at Lord's for what the ICC hails as the 'Ultimate Test' against a young Proteas outfit.
Australia will doubtless start as overwhelming favourites to defend the striking ICC trophy they also lifted in the English capital across town at The Oval in 2023.
