WTC definitive updates: The World Test Championship (WTC final) is coming this month, while Cricket is shifting from T20-Cricket at the franchise level to the longest size of the game in Rode Ball Cricket.
After a whole season of Fine Test Cricket, the Aussies and the Proteas went to the WTC final in 2025. Australia defeated India in the Home Border-Gavaskar trophy to continue to the final for a whitewash about Sri Lanka on their home island.
On the other hand, South Africa won their final series against Pakistan, who brought them to the final with a top position finish. South African players who were part of the IPL returned halfway through the way back to their country as part of the preparations for the upcoming WTC final.
The will of Kagiso Rabada, Marco Jansen and Ryan Rickelton all returned for the upcoming WTC final after the players left halfway through the IPL franchises.

WTC Final Updates: Play 11 for Australia and South Africa
Australia has made their best choices because Cameron Green, the experienced all -rounder for the Baggy Green, returns after his operation. Pat Cummins tries to be the first champion skipper who led his team to successive WTC titles, after he first won it in 2023.
Green has a major impact in England, with 3 centuries in 5 games in the current provincial stint, while there has been a great concern about the situation or they should select Josh Hazlewood Or Scott Boland aside for the big last test.
Scott Boland has the best performance for Australia in recent tests; Hazlewood, however, has the most amazing record at Lord’s After McGrath and also comes from a stunning season in the IPL.
Probably Australia plays 11: Usman Khawaja, Sam Konstas / Josh Inglis, Marnus Labuschagne, Steve Smith, Travis Head, Cameron Green, Alex Carey, Pat Cummins [c]Mitchell Starc, Nathan Lyon and Josh Hazlewood / Scott Boland
Traditionable South Africa plays 11: Temba Bavuma (C), David Bedingham, Tony de Zorzi, Marco Jansen, Kagiso Rabada, Ryan Rickelton, Keshav Maharaj, Aiden Markram, Wiaan Mulder, Tristan Stubbs and Kyle Verreynne.
