New Zealand is the first team to qualify for the inaugural ICC World Test Championship, the organizers said Tuesday, following the postponement of the Test series between South Africa and Australia.

Australia pulled out of their Test tour to South Africa earlier Tuesday, citing "unacceptable" risk to players with the coronavirus rampant in the country.
