Brabourne Stadium to host Test after 36 years Mumbai's Brabourne Stadium will host a Test for the first time since 1973 when Sri Lanka take on India for the third and final Test of their winter tour. The Tests will be followed by two Twenty20 internationals and five ODIs, four of them day-night games. The series, from November 8 to December 27, begins with a three-day warm-up game against the Board President's XI at Mumbai's Bandra-Kurla Complex before the first Test in Ahmedabad, starting November 16. The second Test will be in Kanpur before the teams head back to Mumbai for the third game. The city's regular venue, the Wankhede Stadium, is currently being renovated for the 2011 World Cup. Nagpur, which hosts the first Twenty20, Visakhapatnam and Delhi, the venues of the second and fifth one-dayers, will stage their first floodlit international fixtures. The series also marks the return of Kolkata's Eden Gardens as an one-day international venue after nearly three years - it hosts an ODI on Christmas Eve. Sri Lanka last toured India for a three-Test series in 2005-06, losing 2-0. Itinerary November 11-13: Three-day warm-up match in Mumbai November 16-20: 1st Test, Ahmedabad November 24-28: 2nd Test, Kanpur December 2-6: 3rd Test, Mumbai December 9: 1st Twenty20, Nagpur (d/n) December 12: 2nd Twenty20, Mohali (d/n) December 15: 1st ODI, Rajkot December 18: 2nd ODI, Visakhapatnam (d/n) December 21: 3rd ODI, Cuttack (d/n) December 24: 4th ODI, Kolkata (d/n) December 27: 5th ODI, New Delhi (d/n)

BCCI badly needs a scheduling manager. Which moron though of moving the teams and sundry from Rajkot to Vishakaptnam ? Do they even know what thay involves? Only saving grace is there are 3 days in between and I bet you Teams will lose more than 24 hours getiing from Rajkot to Vizag. And Vizag to Cuttack ? I doubt if there are direct flights. Cuttack in itself is a pain considering that teams will have to travel 90 mins to get to the stadium from hotels in BBSR. Speaking of which -- why doesn't BCCI Charter Flights ? (Heck if need be buy a couple of Boeings) They speak of themselves being the 5 ths largest sports body in the world, but the 100 others behind them have their own flights that carry their teams.
