Former India captain and great all-rounder Kapil Dev expressed his views on the final of the World Test Championship. “It would have been better if there were three Tests instead of one for the World Test Championship winners,” he said. The final of the World Test Championship will be played between India and New Zealand in Southampton from June 18. “I would love to see the final cricket lords of the World Test Championship, Mecca or Old Trafford,” Kapil Dev said.
The final of the First World Test Championship was to be played at Lord’s but was later transferred to the Southampton-era Bowl. The reason for this is said to be the hotel inside the stadium. Because of corona, strict protocols have been made for matches. For such an important title, I would love to have more than one match, ”Kapil Dev told Mid Day. Of course, preparing for any matches is not a big thing these days. It helps to play some matches in those situations but it should not be an excuse. For the finale, the stadium might be better than the Rose Bowl because its history is great. Old Trafford Manchester may also be the right choice but celebrating a victory at Lord’s is a different fun.
He said the World Test Championship was a major concept in the long run of cricket. They supported it. “This is the job the ICC has done to popularize Test matches,” he said. I’m sure the public will have good cricket. I mean it was nice to have a three-Test final. He said Test cricket was a game of the session. It will completely change due to the weather, he said. If you are playing in England, you must be technically similar. As for the future of India, Kapil Dev is an important team in India’s batting and nowadays bowlers are backing up.
