The Indian Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), which refused to send its team to Pakistan for the Champions Trophy, needed the help of the Green Shirts to play the ICC World Test Championship final.
After the Brisbane Test match against Australia ended in a draw yesterday, India’s hopes of playing the World Test Championship final have begun to fade and they need Pakistan’s support.
To play the ICC Test Championship final, the teams of Australia, India, South Africa and Sri Lanka are in a position to qualify for the final of the event.
How can the Indian team play the World Test Championship final?
If the Indian team has to qualify for the final, then their fans, board and team will have to pray for Pakistan that the Green Shirts win the remaining two Test matches against their upcoming Proteas and then India can qualify for the final by winning just one Test match against the hosts Australia.
Another path for the Indian team to play the World Test Championship final is a little difficult but straightforward, that is if India wins its remaining two matches against Australia, namely the Melbourne and Sydney Tests, then it will qualify for the final, but defeating the Kangaroos on their ground is the toughest task for India.
If India wins the series against Australia 1-3, then it will be entitled to play the final.
