The World Test Championship finals will be held at the Lord's Cricket Ground in London in 2023 and 2025, the International Cricket Council (ICC) announced on Tuesday.

The WTC final was moved to Lord's in 2021 as a result of Covid-19, in which New Zealand defeated India to become the first WTC winners. The WTC final had previously been held at Ageas Bowl in Southampton.

"The IBC Board approved Lord's Cricket Ground as the host for the ICC World Test Championship Finals in 2023 and 2025," stated ICC in an official statement.

Among several announcements, VVS Laxman and Daniel Vettori were confirmed as the current player representatives in the ICC Men's Cricket Committee.

Roger Harper, the former West Indies cricketer, will be the second past player representative, joining Mahela Jayawardene in the committee.
