Test Cricket coming up in June:

2nd-6th June: England vs New Zealand in 1st Test at Lord’s.

10th-14th June: England vs New Zealand in 2nd Test at Edgbaston.

18th-22nd June: New Zealand vs India/England or Australia in the final of the World Test Championship at Ageas or Lord’s.

England now need to win both remaining Tests to qualify for the World Test Championship final against the Kiwis or they are knocked out of the race.
If England only win 1 then Australia make the final.
India need to win 1 and draw 1. Any defeat for India will be curtains too.

What’s the best WTC final scenario for the game?

Aus vs NZ = Established local rivalry across various sports.

Eng vs NZ = Rematch of 2019 WC final and a home team involved.

Ind vs NZ = Best possible outcome from a TV ratings point of view. Biggest Test in history of either side.
