But if the WTC does get called off or extended beyond its two-year cycle, India and Australia will have much reason to feel disappointed. In the 9-team table, India and Australia are considerably ahead for the two spots for the finals, which is a one test shootout in Lord’s, England. England or New Zealand will need to play very well for that scenario to unfold, India and Australia very poorly. So, India plays South Africa, Bangladesh and England at home, and West Indies, New Zealand and Australia away. India and Australia should keep their respective positions, with the challenge of New Zealand and England not being good enough.
