The first ODI between India and Sri Lanka, scheduled for December 13, will now be played in Visakhapatnam instead of Delhi, the BCCI has confirmed. The board has informed that the Delhi Cricket Association (DDCA) had asked for the match to be held elsewhere due to the possibility of bad weather and the ongoing renovation work at the stadium.

The pitch and the ground of the stadium are being improved, due to which a new ground is being prepared by laying sand on the soil there and this work will last for the next three months. An official of the Delhi and District Cricket Association (DDCA) said that due to increasing pollution and the renovation work of the ground, they had appealed to the BCCI to shift the match out of Delhi. Let us tell you that this December a series of three ODIs and three T20 matches is to be played between India and Sri Lanka. The venue of the IND vs SL match was also revealed earlier.
