India in the air as Test cricket gets ready for big moment at The Oval
India and Australia are set to face off in the World Test Championship final at The Oval cricket ground, with Indian companies' posters lining the streets outside. The competition, which began in 2019, aims to give greater context to Test cricket. While the T20 World Cup is now more highly regarded, the International Cricket Council hopes to ensure every Test match is taken seriously. Former Australian captain Ricky Ponting says the event is comparable to a true World Cup final, and encourages players to offer the best spectacle possible.
