BCCI Tweaks Venues For India's Tests Against South Africa, West Indies
Follow UsMoreover, Chennai will no longer host India Women's ODI series against Australia
The BCCI on June 9 (Tuesday) announced revised venues for India's upcoming Test series against South Africa and the West Indies.
India are slated to play all three formats, starting on October 2 with the first Test against West Indies in Ahmedabad. However, the second Test, originally scheduled to take place in Kolkata, has now been shifted to Delhi. However, Kolkata will host a Test match during the home season, but it will be India's first Test against South Africa on November 14, originally scheduled to be played in Delhi.
Moreover, India Women's three-match ODI series against Australia, starting September 14, has been moved out of Chennai. The matches will now be shared between the New PCA stadium in New Chandigarh and the Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi.
"Due to the revamping of the outfield and pitches at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai, the IDFC First Bank ODI Series between Team India (Senior Women) and Australia Women has been moved from Chennai," a media release from BCCI said.
Moreover, Chennai is also expected to host matches in next year's Men's T20 World Cup, and according to ESPNCricinfo, the Tamil Nadu Cricket Association (TNCA) informed the BCCI of their inability to host the women's bilateral series in September as they intend to relay the pitches in that window.
BCCI also announced that South Africa A will tour India to play a couple of multi-day games and three one-dayers, starting September 30.
"While the two multi-day matches will continue to be held at the BCCI Centre of Excellence (COE) in Bengaluru, the three one-day games have been moved from M. Chinnaswamy Stadium to the Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Rajkot," the release added.
