After Barbados, now the tricolor will be hoisted at Lord's, Jai Shah revealed a special plan
Team India recently won the T20 World Cup title in Barbados. Now it has two big ICC events in front of it. The Champions Trophy is to be played early next year and then after the IPL, the final match of the World Test Championship will be played.
Team India is currently leading the points table of the World Test Championship. In such a situation, it can be seen playing the final once again. But India has not been able to win the World Test Championship title even once, in such a situation, now BCCI Secretary Jay Shah has taken a big decision.
Special plan to win the World Test Championship
Team India played the final match of the World Test Championship in the year 2021 and 2023. The first time it was defeated by New Zealand and the second time by Australia.
On both these occasions, the Indian team reached the final of the World Test Championship directly from the IPL, so the players got very little time to prepare.
The Indian team had to bear the brunt of it. But BCCI Secretary Jay Shah is in no mood to repeat this mistake now. He has made it clear that this time there will be a gap between the IPL final and the WTC final.
Jai Shah's big promise on WTC Final
Jay Shah has talked about keeping a gap of 15 days between the IPL final and the WTC final. So that the players can get rest before the final. Talking to the Times of India, Jay Shah said, 'The team did not reach the last World Test Championship final late. We had no choice.
From now on we will keep a gap of 15 days between the end of the IPL and the final of the World Test Championship, but we should also appreciate the fact that we have qualified for the final twice.
Team India has a chance to make it to the finals for the third time
Team India is currently at the top of the points table of the World Test Championship. It has won 6 out of 9 matches and has faced defeat only twice. Apart from this, one match was drawn.
The Indian team now has to play a Test series against Bangladesh and New Zealand at home. In such a situation, it will have a chance to further strengthen its position in the points table.
After this, it will play a 5-match Test series on the Australia tour. If Team India is successful there too, then it can once again be seen playing the final of the World Test Championship.
