London: (RightNow). The International Cricket Council (ICC) announces the 2027 World Test Championship final will be hosted at the Oval instead of Lord’s. The final is scheduled from June 9 to 13 at the Oval.

England is set to host the World Test Championship finals in 2027, 2029, and 2031. The England and Wales Cricket Board will select the venue for each edition.

The England Cricket Board has chosen the Oval over Lord’s due to concerns about the pitch quality at Lord’s. The ICC has deemed Lord’s pitch unsatisfactory.

The Oval was selected due to ICC’s concerns about Lord’s pitch. Previously, the Oval hosted the final in 2023.

It is noteworthy that Lord’s pitch was deemed unsatisfactory during an England vs. New Zealand match. The Oval’s selection addresses these concerns.
