The third India-Sri Lanka Test, slated to be held
in Kanpur from 18th-22nd December will now be held in
Ahmedabad after Uttar Pradesh Cricket Association expressed
its inability to host the match at Green Park Stadium.
Talking to reporters at Cricket Club of India (CCI)
in Mumbai after the first meeting of the new BCCI Working
Committee, newly elected Board President Sharad Pawar
said the Asia Cup, scheduled to be held in Pakistan
early next year, has been postponed.
Mr Pawar said he had a discussion with Pakistan Cricket
Board Chairman Shaharyar Khan and they have decided
to postpone the Asia Cup to a mutually accepted date
later.
The BCCI chief said a committee would be set up to
give recommendations to make the working of the cricket
board more professional.
He, however, added that they had not decided on the
composition of the committee and this would be done
soon after further discussion among the new office bearers.
The Union Agriculture Minister, who, after taking over
the reins of the Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA), had
formed a Cricket Improvement Committee, is now in the
process of doing the same with the BCCI.
