The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has announced a change in venue for the upcoming India vs West series, slated to commence on February 6th in Ahmedabad. The IND vs WI series will include three ODIs and the same number of T20Is.
The BCCI has decided to limit the series to just two venues instead of the originally planned six to mitigate the biosecurity risks. Two venues will help them reduce travel and the movement of teams, match officials, broadcasters and any other stakeholders.
