@madaddie24 I have further confirmation that Ageas Bowl will host WTC final on another UK cricket podcast featuring Jimmy Anderson that was published today.

Australia will be sending a different squad to play South Africa in Tests at the same time as the NZ T20 tour. One interesting news I can give you is that there are whispers in the UK that the finale will be staged in Southampton (behind closed doors) instead of Lord's in London.

India just stay in the top 2 of the inaugural ICC World Test Championship table with a draw in the new year Test in Sydney.

This is going down to the wire. So the equation now is 3 wins from 4 for Australia and 4 wins from 5 for India to make it to the Ageas Bowl (not Lord's). pic.twitter.com/eXlIzTXCGp

Lord's? According to @theanalyst that Test finale will be staged at the Ageas Bowl instead of Lord's according to recent developments. Not just him but in the BBC Tailenders Podcast they have also mentioned the Test has been moved to Ageas Bowl because of the need for biosecurity

Final venue will be changing to Ageas Bowl soon with the covid situation in the UK according to recent news.

— Abdullah Haider (@wicketsandruns) January 18, 2021

Biosecure Ageas Bowl will host the final. That is the word going around in the UK lately.

Hence the delay in tickets and exact date announcement for the final with the uncertainty of the venue.

Tickets for the England-India Test Match at Lord's go on sale today.@vivek9900

It is at the Ageas Bowl behind closed doors if worst comes to worst. @HomeOfCricket today tweeted they are still yet to be confirmed hosts for the final. Rumours are it is heading to Ageas Bowl.

They tweeted yesterday they are not confirmed hosts yet. Match likely to be moved to Ageas Bowl due to covid logistics.

— Abdullah Haider (@wicketsandruns) January 19, 2021

But @homeofcricket yesterday tweeted they have not been confirmed as hosts for the final when a user enquired about tickets. Your article mentions they are scheduled to host. Seems Ageas Bowl is being geared up as a replacement as they have biosecure facilities to deal with covid

Southampton Ageas Bowl

— Abdullah Haider (@wicketsandruns) January 25, 2021

At Ageas Bowl in Southampton.
Nothing has been confirmed whether Lord's will be fit to host the final with covid logistics. It is not a biosecure venue.

— Abdullah Haider (@wicketsandruns) February 2, 2021

Again in an ICC press release not once has the venue been mentioned. Just the country it will be held in. Keep seeing mentions of Lord's on Twitter. Some many covid obstacles to get around before that is possible. Several English journos have said it will be held at Ageas Bowl. pic.twitter.com/EFOJKI5MWO

England 1 win away from knocking India out of the World Test Championship, helping Aus qualify.
And 2 wins away from reaching the final of the World Test Championship themselves against New Zealand at Ageas Bowl or Lord's depending on covid starting on Friday 18th-22nd June 2021. pic.twitter.com/yYKgTORS8X

Are you sure it is at Lord's? Nothing in the ICC press release or from the MCC which confirms they are hosting at this stage. All we know is it is in England as things stand. pic.twitter.com/i6zDwvTRtZ
