BCCI made changes to India’s domestic season schedule

The change in venue for the first T20I against Bangladesh from Dharamsala to Gwalior was necessitated due to “improvement and maintenance work carried out by the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association in the dressing rooms,” according to a BCCI statement. This is the second international game released in Dharamsala in the last two years. In February 2023, a late decision was taken to move the third Test between India and Australia to Indore because the Dharamsala ground was not ready for play.

For England’s tour of India in 2025, Chennai was originally scheduled to host the first T20I on January 22 and Kolkata the second on January 25, but those venues have now been changed. “The change of venue was necessitated following a request by the Kolkata Police to the Cricket Association of Bengal regarding their commitments and earlier Republic Day commitments,” the BCCI said.
