0 31

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) announced a change in schedule for the home season.

The board opted to make venue changes for two T20I matches, one against Bangladesh and another against England. In a press release the BCCI said that it had decided to drop Dharamsala as the venue from BAN series and had opted to switch venues in the England series.

The first T20I between India and Bangladesh, initially set to be held in Dharamsala on 6th October 2024, will now take place in Gwalior. The Board further announces a swap in the venues of the first and second T20Is against England. Chennai, originally scheduled to host the first T20I will now host the second while Kolkata will host the opening T20I.

The BCCI revealed that the change from Dharamsala to Gwalior was made due to upgrades and renovation work being carried out by the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association in the dressing rooms. The dates for the first T20I (22nd January 2025) and the second T20I (25th January 2025) remain the same. The venue change was necessitated following a request from Kolkata Police to the Cricket Association of Bengal regarding their prior Republic Day commitments and obligations.
