India-Sri Lanka 1st ODI Moved from Delhi to Visakhapatnam Due to Venue Concerns
The first ODI between India and Sri Lanka, originally scheduled for December 13, 2026, in Delhi, has been shifted to Visakhapatnam's ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) confirmed the change following a request from the Delhi and District Cricket Association (DDCA), citing potential weather disruptions, high air pollution, and ongoing renovation work at Delhi's Arun Jaitley Stadium. The ODI series will continue with matches in Bengaluru and Ahmedabad, followed by a T20I series across Rajkot, Cuttack, and Pune.
