DDCA seeks venue change for India-Sri Lanka ODI over pollution concerns

The opening One-Day International between India and Sri Lanka slated to be played in the national capital on December 13 is likely to be moved out due to pollution and outfield revamp. With pollution at its peak in the months of November and December being a major factor, the Delhi and District Cricket Association has requested the BCCI to move the game out of Delhi also because of the outfield work currently underway at the Feroz Shah Kotla. A sand-based outfield is being laid and the work will go on for the next three months. "Pollution is a major factor and then there is renovation work going on. So we have requested the BCCI to move the game out of Delhi," a DDCA source told PTI. India and Sri Lanka are scheduled to play three ODIs and as many T20Is in December.

India T20 team set the tone despite limited preparation, says Gambhir

India head coach Gautam Gambhir says the Shreyas Iyer-led T20 team has set the tone for the upcoming ODI and Test assignments in the ongoing tour of New Zealand by triumphing in the shortest format despite a lack of practice leading up to the rubber. India defeated the hosts 3-2 in the T20 series despite landing here just a couple of days before the lung-opener and having very little time to rest and recover in between games held at four different venues. "You can be extremely proud of the effort that you guys have given in this series. Winning the series especially when you got one day to prepare and playing against a quality team like New Zealand in their own backyard... you can be extremely proud and go back with your head held high," Gambhir said in a dressing room speech, the video of which was shared by the BCCI on its social media handles. "Yes you wanted to win the last two as well but sometimes these things can happen. But I thought you guys have set the tone for the rest o
