WTC Final 2025: Full list of winners of ICC Test Championship mace
South Africa reclaimed the ICC Test Championship mace after beating Australia by five wickets in the final of the World Test Championship (WTC) at Lord’s on Saturday.
Between 2003 and 2019, the top-ranked Test team at the April 1 cut-off date was rewarded with the mace, along with a cash award of $1 million. The team placed second got $500,000, the third $200,000 and the fourth $100,000.
Since the introduction of the WTC, the mace is awarded to the team winning the WTC final. New Zealand was the first team to win the mace by virtue of winning the WTC final when it beat India in Southampton in 2021.
Australia clinched the mace in 2023 by thrashing India in the summit clash, before the Proteas reclaimed it.
