ICC World Test Championship 2023-2025 – Batting statistics
The 2023-2025 ICC World Test Championship begins on Friday 16th June with the first Ashes Test between England and Australia at Edgbaston.
The famous series between the two sides began the inaugural Test match tournament in 2019, which coincided with the ‘modern’ introduction of names and numbers to the backs of players shirts. New Zealand won that first trophy back in 2021 when they defeated India in a six-day final at the AGEAS Bowl in Southampton.
The 2021-2023 competition was a more open tournament throughout the league stage with both South Africa and Sri Lanka believing they had a chance of making the final at different stages. Eventually, though, India, again, reached the showpiece event, where they defeated/were beaten by Australia at The Oval last week.
In the 2019-21 edition, Australia’s Marnus Labuschagne didn’t even start in the first Test but went on to be the leading run scorer with 1675 runs, whilst Ravichandran Ashwin, of India, was the leading wicket taker as he took 71 wickets in that two-year spell. In 2021-23, Joe Root, with 1915 runs, and Nathan Lyon, on 80 wickets before the aforementioned final, topped the batting and bowling statistics.
