Earlier it was decided that the WTC final will be held at Lord’s but as per some new developing ICC is deciding to move the WTC final outside the Lord’s.

The venue [for the World Test Championship Final] will be announced soon. Lord’s is not the venue the ICC is planning for. ICC will be advised by the England and Wales Cricket Board and its own medical health professionals to decide on the venue for the final. There could be a case of creating a similar bio-secure bubble as the ECB had for the last home summer,” an ICC source told TOI.
