Proteas aim to extend WTC glory, starting in Lahore and Rawalpindi
Cape Argus
|October 07, 2025
THE defence of the ICC World Test Championship (WTC) mace is set to officially get underway for South Africa as they begin the new cycle with a two-match Test series in Lahore and Rawalpindi this month.
As the Proteas start the 2025-27 WTC cycle in Pakistan next week, they carry a target on their backs, having won the WTC final against Australia at Lord’s this past winter.
It will be a new challenge for South Africa, given that every Test they play will now be closely examined by opposition teams — a level of scrutiny they most likely did not face in the previous cycle, when they flew under the radar due to a lack of stars and being generally underrated.
Stand-in captain Aiden Markram emphasised the team’s desire to lift the WTC mace once again at the conclusion of the new cycle.
