Dubai, March 10: The International Cricket Council on Wednesday formally announced that Southampton will host the inaugural World Test Championship final between India and New Zealand in June and a limited number of fans could be allowed if the easing of lockdown in the UK continues.
The game will be played inside a bio-secure bubble at the Hampshire Bowl in Southampton from June 18-22.
The venue was confirmed to PTI on Monday by BCCI President Sourav Ganguly.
“Should the UK government’s phased easing of COVID-19 lockdown measures proceed as planned, it is anticipated that a limited number of fans will be allowed into the Hampshire Bowl to watch the final,” the ICC statement read.
The final was to be held at the Lord’s but the ICC and ECB decided to alter the venue to ensure that the fixture could be staged safely with minimised impact of COVID for all involved. (PTI)
