New Delhi: As India takes on the Bangladesh side for the home series, the World Test Championship, the rankings of the World Test Championship become pertinent for both India and Bangladesh. The World Test Championship finals are scheduled to be played at the iconic Lords Cricket Ground in 2025.
India has a deep scar when it comes to WTC, after failing to cross the final hurdle on the previous two occasions. The men in blue currently sit at the top of the WTC rankings. Meanwhile, Bangladesh are dreaming big to climb to the second spot to book a place in the finals.
However, the Tigers are not alone in aiming high for the sky. Another subcontinent team, Sri Lanka can also see themselves in the top spot, especially after their recent win in the final test against England. Meanwhile, Australia and New Zealand continue to call the shots as they have a great opportunity to qualify for their second WTC finals.
The Aussies are set to play a 5-match series against India in the Border-Gavaskar series. On the other hand, the Kiwis are set to play 8 matches in the WTC calendar beginning with Sri Lanka and then India. England, however, has made things complicated with the last test loss against Sri Lanka.
