There is conjecture among world cricket leaders as to whom will host the World Test Championship finals in 2021 and 2023 - the cradle of cricket England or the home of whichever country tops the table at tournaments end.
Outgoing Cricket Australia CEO James Sutherland is of both opinions.
"We would like the idea, particularly if Australia was to qualify for the final would be to host that match in Australia. [But] for the first two years of the cycle, the championship match is going to be played in the northern hemisphere, in the UK most likely. Down the track member countries like being able to host it if we could. Complexity of the program can make things challenging. With the Test playoff you don't know who will play or qualify and still need to schedule matches for the next cycle."
Have your say.
