WTC Final: ICC under fire after India vs New Zealand match falls prey to inclement weather

The ICC, which followed a neutral venue policy, had picked England as the venue for the WTC final.

The International Cricket Council (ICC) was left red-faced and under fire from former cricketers after the inaugural World Test Championship (WTC) final fell prey to inclement weather with two of the first four days getting washed out and the other two days not seeing full days' play due to disruptions from bad light. With just two days left -- including the reserve day on June 23 -- a draw looks the best possibility for a result although a flurry of wickets could still see a result in either team's favour. The rules suggest both teams will be joint winners if the match ends in a draw or a tie. It is something that may not go down well with both teams. Indian skipper Virat Kohli looked angry after play was stopped due to bad light on multiple occasions in the second half of the second day's play.
