New venue chosen for second Windies-India ODI

MUMBAI, India (CMC) -- A new venue has been chosen for the second One-Day International (ODI) between India and West Indies, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has announced.

The second ODI of the upcoming series has been switched from Cuttack to New Delhi for "operational reasons", BCCI secretary Sanjay Patel said in a statement.

India and West Indies are due to play five ODIs, three Test matches and a one-off T20 International from next month.

"The match schedule of the series between India and the West Indies to be played in October-November had to be revised due to operational reasons. Cuttack will now host the one-off T20I and Delhi will host the second ODI," Patel said.

"Vishakhapatnam and Dharamshala will host the third and fourth ODIs, respectively. The final ODI will be played at Kolkata."

The tour starts with the first of the five-match ODI series in Kochi on October 8 with the one-off T20I set for Cuttack on October 22.

The three-match Test series bowls off October 30 in Hyderbad.

Well they must know what operational reason. Maybe they want to switch the pitch type so that the West Indies bowlers like Narine will not be as effective or they need as many India supporters in the venue as possible. Regardless of the venue though I think the West Indies will have a tough series.
