DDCA Requests BCCI to Relocate India-Sri Lanka ODI from Delhi Due to Pollution and Renovations
The Delhi and District Cricket Association (DDCA) has formally requested the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) to move the first ODI between India and Sri Lanka, scheduled for December 13 at Arun Jaitley Stadium, out of Delhi. The request cites concerns over high pollution levels during winter and ongoing renovation work at the stadium. While the BCCI has not officially confirmed a venue change, the second and third ODIs remain scheduled in Bengaluru and Ahmedabad respectively. The series will be followed by T20I matches in other cities.
