The Men in Blue will return to international cricket after a break of nearly three months and kickstart the 2023-24 season with the high-profile ICC World Test Championship (WTC) against Australia from June 7 to 11. It is noteworthy that Team India hasn`t won an ICC trophy since ten years and will be keen to end its medal jinx.
The final of the prestigious Test Championship will be held at the Oval. As it turns out, Rohit Sharma will lead a star-studded squad, including the likes of Virat Kohli, Ajinkya Rahane and many others. This is the second edition of the WTC, which was introduced in 2019 to add context to the longest format of the game. New Zealand were the champions of the inaugural edition, beating India by eight wickets in the final in Southampton. The winners of the WTC Final will take home a purse of $ 1.6 million while the losers will get $ 800,000.
