ICC World Test Championship Final: Jay Shah, the Chairman of the International Cricket Council (ICC), said it was a moment of privilege for him to ring the bell at the historic Lord’s Cricket Ground before the start of the 2025 World Test Championship Final between Australia and South Africa.
In their bid to retain the mace they won at The Oval in June 2023 after beating India by 209 runs, Australia were reduced to 67/4 in 23.2 overs by South Africa at lunch on the first day of the match. This is also the first time that Lord’s is hosting an ICC World Test Championship Final.
“A privilege to ring the bell at the historic Lord’s ground before the start of play on day one of the @icc World Test Championship final between @ProteasMenCSA and @CricketAus,” wrote Shah on his ‘X’ account on Wednesday.
