India want to stage the final of the World Test Championship (WTC) in 2027 with a formal proposal to be made to the International Cricket Council (ICC) this summer.
An Indian bid for the WTC final would have major implications for England’s summer scheduling and could create logistical problems for the ICC given the country’s relations with Pakistan, which have deteriorated further after this week’s air strikes in Kashmir. In a separate development on Thursday a Pakistan Super League match involving three English players was postponed amid the rising political tension.
