Team India Home Schedule Revised: The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has made changes in its domestic season of 2024-25. During this period, the Indian team has to play series against Bangladesh and England at home. There have been some changes for both these series.
The Indian team has to play a 2-match Test series and a 3-match T20 series against Bangladesh at home. The first test will start from 19th September. After this the second test will be held from 27th September. Then the first T20 match of the series between the two teams was to be held in Dharamshala on 6 October.
International match will be held in Gwalior after 14 years
But BCCI has changed the venue of this first match. Actually, renovation work is going on in the dressing room of Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association, due to which the venue has been changed. Now this match will be played at Shrimant Madhavrao Scindia Cricket Stadium in Gwalior.
An international match will be played in Gwalior after 14 years. The last time an ODI match was played on this ground was in 2010 between India and South Africa, in which Sachin Tendulkar scored a double century. Then Sachin became the first cricketer in the world to score a double century in ODI.
After Bangladesh, the Indian team has to play the home series directly in January next year. Then the England team will come to India. A 5-match T20 series and 3-match ODI series will be played between the two teams. The first will be the ODI series, which will start on January 22. BCCI has also made a major change in the schedule of the England series.
Venue changed on appeal of Kolkata Police
The board has also changed the venue of the first and second T20 matches against England. The first T20 match of the series was to be held in Chennai on 22 January. But now this match will be played in Kolkata. Whereas the second T20 match was to be held in Kolkata on January 25, which will now be held in Chennai. However, the date of the match has not been changed.
Let us tell you that the change that has happened in the England series has been done due to the appeal of Kolkata Police. Kolkata Police says that the second T20 match will be held on January 25, when they will be busy preparing for Republic Day. Therefore the police made this request to the board.
