The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has shifted the second ODI between India and Sri Lanka to Nagpur which was scheduled to be held in Visakhapatnam due to the ongoing Telangana catastrophe in the Indian state of Andhra Pradesh.
The match is going to be held on the scheduled date as before which is the 18th of Dec 2009.
The decision was made after the Visakhapatnam police denied to give oaths over the security following the prevailing situation in the state.
Earlier, amid rumors of cancellation the Andhra Cricket Association (ACA) had on Saturday said the match would be held as scheduled despite the Telangana crisis.
People who booked the tickets in advance will get their money back, stated the ACA.
India has a good record at the Nagpur stadium against Sri Lanka. India has played 12 ODIs there and won 6 of them, whereas Sri Lanka have played 3 ODIs there and faced defeat in all of them.
Nagpur is surely pleased to get a chance at another cricket blast.
