 "South Africa will play their first WTC final while Australia aim to defend WTC title")
India cricket team failed to qualify for the third consecutive ICC World Test Championship (WTC) final after losing the fifth and final Test against Australia at the Sydney Cricket Ground on Sunday. With Australia clinching the series 3-1 and winning back the Border-Gavaskar Trophy after almost a decade, Pat Cummins' men locked for a fascinating WTC final clash with South Africa. Australia vs South Africa WTC final will take place on June 11, 2025 at Lord's Cricket Ground.
The road for India's WTC final 2025 was not easy as they not only had to win the match against Australia in Sydney but also rely on Sri Lanka to clean sweep the Kangaroos in two-match Test series, starting January 27, at home.
As it has been transpired throughout the five-match Test series between India and Australia, the Indian team is in transition and in the next WTC cycle, which begins with India's tour of England in June 2025, some big names in Indian Test cricket won't make it to the India squad.
