BCCI accepts changed schedule

January 02, 2006 22:19 IST

The Board of Control for Cricket in India has agreed to a change in the schedule of one-day internationals as suggested by the Pakistan Cricket Board.

As per the latest itinerary, Peshawar will host the first one-dayer. The schedule for tests, however, remain unchanged, according to a BCCI release in Mumbai on Monday1.

The Indian cricket team will return to India on February 19, 2006.

Earlier, the Northwest Frontier Province (NWFP) government had written to PCB that it cannot host the second one-day international in Peshawar on February 8 in view of Moharram as they do not have enough manpower to provide top grade security to the two teams and also maintain complete law and order in the city and the adjoining areas.
