The Test Championship 2023 final between India and Australia will take place at the Oval in London, starting on June 7. India will be competing in the Test Championship final for the second time in a row after losing to New Zealand in June 2021.
Australia and India have both released their lineups for the crucial match at the neutral ground in June. Additionally, the ball used in the championship game will be distinctive compared to the one used in their home nations. Australia uses Kookaburra balls, whilst Test matches in India are played with SG balls.
News 18, who published the news, claimed that the source is from the governing body for International cricket. He has said that, For all ICC events, the ICC uses the ball of choice of our host country so in this case, the ball for the WTC Final will be Dukes which is used in England.”
What did Rohit Sharma say about the Duke Balls before the IPL began?
Rohit Sharma spoke to the media regarding the Test Championship final and how the Duke Ball will be used by the Indian quicks before the Indian Premier League began. The Indian skipper said,“We are sending some Duke balls to all fast bowlers and if they get some time to bowl with that but again it all depend on individuals, guys who will be part of the final are not the guys who have not played in the UK and maybe one or two guys here and there and rest all of us have played in that part of the world. I don’t think it will be a huge problem. But yeah, look I believe in preparation and preparations will be key for us come the Final.”
The players from each of the franchises that will be eliminated from the Indian Premier League early would be transferred to England as soon as possible to acclimatise to the circumstances, according to another statement made by Rohit. The IPL 2023 playoffs will take place starting May 23 with the final on May 28.

Our bowlers especially Siraj and Shami have to bowl well. Our batsmen should be ready to play the ball a bit late or stay 1 ft in front of crease and try to step down the ground bcoz of the swing.
