Chennai, Calcutta Test dates against Australia swapped
27 January 2001

Citing 'logistical problems,' the BCCI secretary Jaywant Lele talking over the phone from Baroda on Saturday said that the centres for the Test matches between Australia and India, to be held in Chennai and Calcutta, have been swapped. "Calcutta will host the second Test against Australia from March 11 to 15 and Chennai, the third Test from March 18 to 22," he said.

Likewise, the one-dayer between England and India (under-19) would be shifted from Ahmedabad and Rajkot. Baroda would be the venue for the one-day match on Feb 4, he added. The board secretary told PTI that 'no matches are possible in both Rajkot and Ahmedabad and these two fixtures are to be shifted'.

The earthquake which rocked Gujarat yesterday has forced shifting of venues for the Duleep Trophy league match, to be held in Rajkot and the One dayers (under-19) between England and India in Ahmedabad on Feb 6 and at Rajkot on Feb 8.

Lele also indicated that the Duleep Trophy league match between North and West Zones, slated for Feb 1 to 4 in Rajkot, would now be held in Mumbai. A decision on the venues for the other matches would be announced by this evening, he said.
