NEW DELHI: As earlier reported here that BCCI requested ICC to reconsider the decision of moving the India-England world cup match from Eden Garden to another venue due to lack of proper preparations on the venue.
Now it is reported on Saturday that ICC didn’t accept the Indian cricket board's request because of no assurance from Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) whether the stadium would be ready in time for the Feb 27 day-night game.
Haroon Lorgat in an email to BCCI President Shashank Manohar said the ICC was not in a position to accommodate the last minute request from the board.
N. Srinivasan, secretary BCCI told media that ICC has instructed BCCI to finalize the alternative venue by January 31.
