Itinerary revised

MUMBAI: Logistical problems have compelled the Board of Control for Cricket in India BCCI to interchange the venues of the second and third Tests in the forthcoming series against Australia.

As per the changed schedule, Cuttack would host the second Test from March 12-16 after the first Test at Chennai March 5-9 while Bangalore would host the third and final Test between March 24 and 28.

As per the schedule released by the BCCI earlier, Bangalore was to host the second Test and Cuttack the final match of the three-Test series.

The change has been effected as the Australians felt it would be difficult to reach Kochi, the venue of the first match of the tri-nation series to follow the Test series India v Australia on April 1, from Cuttack, according to BCCI sources here today.

The Aussies are scheduled to arrive in Mumbai on February 21.
