ICC WTC Final 2023 India's Final Squad against Australia: The opponents for the ICC World Test Championship (WTC) Final 2023 are locked up as we will see a rematch between India and Australia on the world stage. The two teams will lock horns at Kennington Oval in London from June 7 to get crowned as the World Test Champions for the year 2023.



Australia sealed its position in the ICC WTC Final by defeating India in the 3rd test of the recently completed Border Gavaskar Trophy 2023. The Aussies finished their test run from 2021-23 atop the ICC WTC points table with a 66.67 win percentage. 



Meanwhile, India managed to cross the barrier after retaining the Border Gavaskar Trophy 2023 and with a little help from New Zealand, who defeated Sri Lanka in the NZ vs SL 1st test. India's purple run in the BGT 2023 helped them to remain second to the Australian side in the ICC WTC 2023 Points Table.



Now that we have got both of our finalists, let's have a look at ICC WTC Final 2023 India's squad against Australia - Prediction.



<h2>ICC WTC Final 2023 India's Final Squad</h2>



Openers - Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill



Captain Rohit Sharma has loved the company of Shubman Gill in the recent past. The two have provided India with some solid starts and partnerships. Rohit has been a different batter in the tests ever since he started opening the innings. He has looked more assured and worked his way out to tackle his woes. On the other side, Shubman Gill has taken the world by storm. He has been scoring runs for the team and has even registered three format centuries recently.

Middle Order - Cheteshwar Pujara, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer/Suryakumar Yadav, KS Bharat (wk), KL Rahul (wk) 



The likes of Cheteshwar Pujara, Virat Kohli and Shreyas Iyer/Suryakumar Yadav will form the Indian middle order. While Pujara has managed to score 140 runs in 4 test matches in 2023, Virat Kohli slammed a century to shut his critics. In the recently held Border Gavaskar Trophy, Virat Kohli remained one of the top run-scorers with 297 runs from 4 matches. 



Shreyas Iyer would be the ideal choice at number 5 for India, but, there are high chances that the batter could get rule out of the WTC Final 2023 due to his back injury. In such case, Suryakumar Yadav can replace him in the team.



Team India can carry two wicketkeeper - KS Bharat &amp; KL Rahul - for the ICC WTC Final 2023. Young KS Bharat was given a long rope in the recently held BGT 2023, however, the glovesman couldn't cement his place in the team. In 6 test innings, Bharat has only managed to score 101 runs at a poor average of 20.20. 



Meanwhile, KL Rahul could be other wicketkeeping option. India will require the services of KL Rahul in England. Keeping in mind how KL Rahul performed in the previous England tour, he will be a crucial player for the Indian team.

All-Rounders - Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, R Ashwin, Shardul Thakur



Although India would love to have pace bowling all-rounders in England, but, unfortunately, there aren't many options available right now. The likes of Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel and R Ashwin are all spinners, who can bat. Only Shardul Thakur is the pace bowling all-rounder available. Interestingly, Hardik Pandya can become a surprise inclusion in the team, however, he recently denied featuring in the test format.



Bowlers - Kuldeep Yadav, Mohammad Siraj, Mohammad Shami, Umesh Yadav



The bowling unit of the Indian team include - Kuldeep Yadav, Mohammad Siraj, Mohamamd Shami and Umesh Yadav. Unfortunately, Jasprit Bumrah won't be available to aid the Indian team in England this time. The pacer has recently undergone a back surgery to cure his long persisting injury.



<h4>ICC WTC Final 2023 India's Final Squad:</h4>



Rohit Sharma (c), Shubman Gill, KL Rahul (wk), Cheteshwar Pujara, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer/Suryakumar Yadav, KS Bharat (wk), Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, R Ashwin, Shardul Thakur, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohammad Shami, Mohammad Siraj, Umesh Yadav.

ICC WTC Final 2023 India's Squad against Australia - Prediction

icc-wtc-final-2023-indias-squad-against-australia-prediction

ICC WTC Final: The upcoming few months will be extremely crucial for the Australian cricket team. They will first lock horns against India in the World Test Championship Final followed by the much anticipated Ashes 2023. They have displayed exceptional brand of cricket over the last two years and it?ll be the final showdown for them.?



The ICC WTC Final will be played from 7th to 11th June at the Oval. Whereas Ashes 2023 will begin from 16th June in Edgbaston, which will be followed by the second game on 28th June at Lord?s. The third game will be played on July 6th in Leeds whereas the last two games are slated to take place on July 19th and July 27th at Manchester and the Oval respectively.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">ICC WTC Final: Mark Waugh backs David Warner To Open The Innings in WTC Final and Ashes 2023 Despite Poor Form</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="http://www.icccricketschedule.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/David-Warner.jpg" alt="IND vs AUS 2nd Test: Australia likely to drop David Warner, Matthew Kuhnemann added to the Test squad" class="wp-image-102213" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">David Warner was dismissed for 10 run in the second innings during IND vs AUS 1st test | Getty Images</figcaption></figure>



One of the main concerning things for Australia will be the form of David Warner in the Tests. The southpaw has failed to fire and has failed consistently in the longest format of the game. There has been many speculations about his place in the side with many raising calls to drop him.?



Apart from his double century against South Africa, David Warner has failed to get going. The southpaw has failed to reach fifty in the last 18 Test innings, and also averaged just&nbsp;9.50 on the last Ashes tour in 2019, where Stuart Broad gave him sleepless nights.&nbsp;



Warner failed miserably in the Tests against India and following that his place in the side has been under scanner. With ICC WTC Final and Ashes 2023 around the corner, a big question remains about whether he will find a place in the XI or not.?

Mark Waugh however, feels that Australia will stick with David Warner for the ICC WTC Final and they should start him for the Ashes as well. Speaking to AAP, he said:&nbsp;



"If I am reading the tea leaves right, it sounds like they will stick with David for the World Test Championship (final) at The Oval. And if that's the way Australia are thinking about the World Test Championship, then yes, they have to start with him for the Ashes. It would be very hard to have Usman Khawaja and Warner open the batting and then change a week later for the first Test at Edgbaston.?&nbsp;

ICC WTC Final: Australian Legend Backs David Warner To Open The Innings in WTC Final and Ashes 2023 Despite Poor Form

icc-wtc-final-australian-legend-backs-david-warner-to-open-the-innings-in-wtc-final-and-ashes-2023-despite-poor-form

ICC WTC Final: The countdown for the much anticipated World Test Championship Final has begun. Australia will lock horns against India in the summit clash of the championship. The two cricketing giants since the last two years played an exceptional brand of cricket and found themselves in the final. The game will be a testimony of their hard work as both of them would be looking to grab the title and win their first Test Championship.?



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">ICC WTC Final: Australia Playing XI for the World Test Championship Final against India prediction</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="http://www.icccricketschedule.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/355487-1.jpg" alt="ICC WTC Points Table (Updated) after Ind vs Aus 3rd test and India's Qualification Scenario to reach ICC WTC final" class="wp-image-103588" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Australia won the Indore Test by 9 wickets.

Australia has named their squad for the ICC WTC final. The team has pretty familiar names and it?s fair to say that England's conditions would suit them more than the Indian players. If we talk about the playing xi of Australia, there?s no doubt that Usman Khawaja will open the innings as he has been the leading run-getter for Australia in this edition.?



However, the question remains who will be his opening partner? David Warner has struggled to score runs of late and is going through a torrid form. Australia has Marcus Harris in the squad as well. But it is likely that they will give a nod ahead to Warner as his experience would be vital for the team.?

The duo of Marnus Labuschagne and Steve Smith are expected to bat at No.3 and No.4 respectively. They both have been the mainstay of the Australian batting lineup in the Tests and are expected to play a crucial role in the WTC Final as well.&nbsp;



Travis ahead is going through the purple patch and has turned the game on his head with his brutal power hitting. He along with all-rounder Cameron Green, who scored a hundred in the last Test he played is likely to play a huge role for the team in the game against India.&nbsp;



Alex Cary will be the keeper in the team whereas Mitchell Starc, Pat Cummins and Josh Hazlewood are likely to be the three front-line pacers in the team. Nathan Lyon is expected to be the only spinner in the team. It?s fair to say that their bowling lineup can prove out to be a difference between the two sides.&nbsp;

ICC WTC Final: Australia Playing 11 for the World Test Championship Final against India prediction

icc-wtc-final-australia-playing-11-for-the-world-test-championship-final-against-india-prediction

ICC WTC Final: We are just one sleep away from the biggest game of Test cricket. It?s time for the ultimate Test as India and <a href="https://www.cricketaustralia.com.au/" data-type="URL" data-id="https://www.cricketaustralia.com.au/">Australia</a> will cross swords with each other in the final of the ICC World Test Championship (WTC). Both teams have been putting in the hard yards and are leaving no stone unturned for the game. The hard work of the last two years has reached a pinnacle end and whosoever adapts to the condition will emerge victorious and will have their hands at the trophy.?



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">ICC WTC Final: Who will win if rain plays spoilsport in the WTC Final between India and Australia?</h2>



 The ICC WTC Final will take place from 7th to 11th June at the Oval ground in England. With the match slated to take place in the UK, one cannot rule out the weather as we have often seen rain playing spoilsport in the games, which has hampered the results and has even washed out many games as well.?



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="http://www.icccricketschedule.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/India-vs-Australia.jpg" alt="ICC WTC Final Qualification Scenario!

Know, how can India qualify for the 2021-23 WTC final.</figcaption></figure>



The rain played a spoilsport in the last final of the WTC Final but we, however, were lucky to get a result as New Zealand defeated India by 8 wickets to win the game. But if the rain plays a part this time, ICC has kept a reserve day on 12th June.&nbsp;



It?ll come into play only if rain or weather plays spoilsport during the match. The amount of time or the overs lost can be made up on the reserve day in case there is no result after five days.

But the question remains what if rain denies the result and who will be crowned as the winner? In that case, India and Australia will be declared as the joint winners of the world Test champions. The same rule applies if the game ends in a draw.&nbsp;



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">ICC WTC Final: Weather forecast for the WTC final?</h2>



 The weather conditions for the ICC WTC Final look decent so far. There?s very less rain predicted during the period the game will be played. The first day of the match is expected to be cloudy but no rain is predicted on the opening day of the game.?



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="http://www.icccricketschedule.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/oval2_11zon.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-112552" /></figure>



There are chances that Day 2 and Day 3&nbsp;&nbsp;of the ICC WTC final might get marred by rain as little rain is expected. There are more chances of rain in the final two days. Throughout the game, the conditions are likely to be cloudy, which means pacers might come into play all five days.&nbsp;
