Leader Online Desk: India's veteran spinner Ravichandran Ashwin has raised questions about the venue of the World Test Championship Final (WTC Final) and has demanded that countries like India and Australia also host this important match. He also highlighted that the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad will be suitable for the ICC finals.
R Ashwin recently shared a video on his YouTube channel. In it he says, 'The last two WTC final matches were played in England. In 2025, the final match of the tournament will be played in England for the third time. But should that place be changed now? Why not host the final in India or Australia? Narendra Modi Stadium is the largest cricket stadium in India and can host a great final match. What did you think about it? Another person suggested that the team that tops the table should play the final in their country. This is also a good idea. But we don't know that the Australian weather is a bit dull in June,' he opined.
India has played both the WTC Finals so far. Team India faced New Zealand for the first time in 2021 and Australia for the second time in 2023. However, both times Team India had to face defeat. The third season of the World Test Championship is currently underway. Ashwin hopes that Team India will complete the hat-trick to reach the finals of this tournament. Because India is on the first position in the current WTC point table.
Ashwin (R Ashwin) further said, 'India has three more series to play. Two of these series are to be played at home and one series is to be played abroad. Same goes for the Australian team. Given all this, I think another WTC Final awaits us,' he expressed confidence.
