Amid growing uncertainties about the itineraries of upcoming England's tour to India, the BCCI President Sourav Ganguly has confirmed that the widely-talked about Day-night Test match between the sides will take place in Ahmedabad. This implies that Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel Stadium in Ahmedabad has tipped the iconic Eden Gardens in Kolkata which had hosted the only day-night Test match India have played in a race for the series against England.
“Ahmedabad will hold the day-night Test,” Ganguly was quoted as saying at a book launch at the Kolkata Press Club.
With this announcement, Ganguly has made it clear that the BCCI is not exploring the option of hosting the Englishman in the United Arab Emirates after having moved the Indian Premier League this year due to the coronavirus pandemic.
There are reports claiming that Kolkata, Dharamshala, and Ahmedabad have been shortlisted as plausible options by the BCCI for the Test matches against England. However, Ganguly refused to divulge anything about the decision making process of the board and instead said that there are a lot of time (4 months) left to zero-in on the planning for the series and the BCCI as of now have put in just tentative plans
