BCCI tweaks England women's tour

The Rajiv Gandhi Stadium in Hyderabad will no longer host the second and third women's one-day internationals this month

The Board of Control for Cricket in India has altered England’s women’s itinerary for their tour of India, which begins on Monday when they arrive in Bangalore.

Hyderabad has been removed from the schedule, meaning the second and third one-day internationals will now be played in Bangalore and Visakhapatnam respectively.

The second game will be a day earlier than originally scheduled, as will the fourth game in Visakhapatnam. The fifth and final ODI will now be held in Mumbai, rather than Visakhapatnam.

Finally, the first two Twenty20 internationals will be played a day later than scheduled, but at their original venues.
