India-WI Second Test In Oct Relocated To New Delhi; Kolkata To Host India-SA First Test In Nov
Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium: India's second Test of the two-match series against West Indies, scheduled for October 10-14 at Eden Gardens, will now be held at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi instead of its original venue in Kolkata, said the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on Monday.
At the same time, the BCCI announced that India's first Test against South Africa, scheduled to take place from November 14 to November 18, has been relocated from New Delhi to the Eden Gardens in Kolkata. The rest of the men’s international season schedule remains unchanged, though, added the BCCI.
It is to be noted that giving New Delhi the first India-South Africa Test had raised huge concerns over its safe hosting and well-being of the players, considering that it was to be held three weeks after Diwali, which is typically a period when the entire Delhi-NCR region is engulfed in smog and high pollution.
