Cuttack: It is now official. Barabati will host an International T20 match between India and Sri Lanka on December 20 instead of its previous allotted game in November.
The change in schedule and venue was made by BCCI basing on the request by Odisha Cricket Association (OCA) after the state association had expressed its ‘unwillingness’ to host any game in November due to Bali Jatra.
OCA was earlier allotted a T20 match between India and New Zealand to be played at Barabati on November 4.
