England has been the pioneer of cricket, and has been a pious hub of the gentleman's sport. However, the fact that the country has hosted the last three finals since 2021, has created a turmoil in the cricketing fraternity. Recently Pat Cummins, the Australian skipper, advocated that the final should be hosted in the previous season's winner's home ground. However, reports suggested that the final is not going anywhere from England till 2031. The ICC has verbally communicated to the English and the Wales Cricket Board that they will be hosting the coming three World Test Championship finals. Notably, India had proposed to host the finals. but Ngland reportedly had an upper hand in hosting neutral teams in the country. England, despite having their own own team failing to qualify in the final, has witnessed packed stadiums in all three finals so far. The first final, in 2021, was played between India and New Zealand at Southampton. The Oval hosted the second final, between India and Australia in 2023. And now, in 2025, the iconic Lord's Cricket Ground witnessed the iconic win of South Africa defeating Australia.

Traditionally held in June, the match falls during the English summer — a period that fits nicely into the busy international calendar. Nonetheless, many have raised questions about whether this is the fairest way to determine a world champion. Some players, including former India captain Rohit Sharma, have openly challenged this schedule. After India's loss to Australia in 2023, Rohit asked, “Why after the IPL final? Why cannot it be March? June is not the only month we should play the final.” His view underscores a growing feeling that the match shouldn’t be tied to a single time of year or a single venue. Furthermore, there have been calls to make the final a multi-game showdown instead of a one-off match. Players like Virat Kohli and Steve Smith have supported this idea, adding weight to the ongoing debate.
