Mumbai, Aug 14: The first T20I between India and Bangladesh, scheduled for October 6 later this year, has been moved from Dharamsala to Gwalior, as the BCCI announced a revised schedule on Tuesday.
The Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association (HPCA) stadium in Dharamsala is undergoing upgrades and renovations in the dressing rooms, according to the release.
The match in Gwalior will be hosted at the new Shrimant Madhavrao Scindia Cricket Stadium. This will be the first match played in the city since the historic India vs. South Africa ODI game in 2010, where Sachin Tendulkar scored his double century.
