The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has relocated the opening One Day International (ODI) match between India and Sri Lanka from Delhi to Visakhapatnam.
Scheduled for December 13, the series opener will now take place at the ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium in Visakhapatnam on the original date.
The venue change followed a request from the Delhi and District Cricket Association (DDCA), citing potential weather disruptions and planned stadium work at the Arun Jaitley Stadium. Severe winter air pollution in the national capital and ongoing work to relay the stadium’s outfield prompted the association to seek an alternative host city.
The upcoming bilateral tour comprises three ODIs and three T20Is. Following the opener in Visakhapatnam, the second and third ODIs are set for Bengaluru on December 16 and Ahmedabad on December 19, respectively.
