    ICC World Test Championship Final: New Zealand’s Chris Gaffaney and England’s Richard Illingworth will be serving as the on-field umpires for the 2025 ICC World Test Championship final, set to be played between Australia and South Africa at Lord’s from June 11-15.

    The highly anticipated title clash for the glittering mace will see defending champions Australia take on first-time finalists South Africa. Illingworth was also part of the officiating team in the 2021 and 2023 WTC finals. He is also the current holder of the ICC Umpire of the Year honour, after having won the David Shepherd Trophy for the fourth time in 2024.

    Gaffaney had partnered with Illingworth in officiating the 2024 ICC Men’s T20 World Cup final between India and South Africa at Barbados, and also officiated in the WTC 2023 final between India and Australia at The Oval. Illingworth, meanwhile, will become the first umpire to stand in all three World Test Championship finals.
