WTC Winners List from 2019 to 2025

The ICC World Test Championship (WTC) has redefined Test cricket, giving it a more structured way of playing the longest format of the game. Since 2019, the WTC has changed how Test cricket is celebrated, with each cycle ending in an epic final after two years of intense cricketing action.

New Zealand claimed the maiden title in 2021, defeating Virat Kohli's India by eight wickets in Southampton. Kane Williamson's captaincy and Kyle Jamieson’s all-round performance were crucial in their historic win. Australia lifted the mace in the 2021-23 cycle, winning over India by a 209-run margin in the final at The Oval in London.

With the 2023-25 edition coming to its end, Australia has once again reached the summit clash and will lock horns with South Africa, set to be played at Lord's from June 11-15, 2025. There will be a reserve day for the game as well. South Africa secured their spot with consistent performances, including wins against West Indies, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka. 

Australia, with a powerful lead on the WTC points table, overcame India in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy to claim their place. Meanwhile, Joe Root leads the batting charts with 5543 runs, while Pat Cummins tops the bowling list with 200 wickets so far in WTC history.
