World Test Championship final should ideally be a 3-match series in the long run, says Ravi Shastri

India head coach Ravi Shastri said that it would be ideal to conclude the World Test Championship with a three-Test series between the finalists in the future.

It would be ideal if the World Test Championship (WTC) is concluded with a three-Test series as opposed to a one-match final, India head coach Ravi Shastri has said. India are set to face New Zealand in the first-ever WTC final at the Ageas Bowl from June 18 to 22. "Ideally, in the long run, if they want to pursue this Test championship, a best of three final would be ideal. As a culmination of two and a half years of cricket around the globe. We have got to finish it as quickly as possible due to the FTP (future tours program) that will start all over again," Shastri said in a virtual press conference ahead of the team's departure to England. Shastri said that India have earned their right to play in the final, not just because of their famous series wins in Australia but due to the way they have pulled themselves out of difficult situations in other series as well.
