The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has confirmed the shifting of the Duleep Trophy final from Bengaluru to Chennai.
“The two quarterfinals and two semifinals will be held at the BCCI Centre of Excellence (CoE) in Bengaluru.
But because of some government restrictions, we cannot allow the public to watch the matches at the CoE.
In view of that, we have moved the final to the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai,” Saikia said.
All matches matches will be live-streamed, with some matches - including the final - to be broadcast on television as well.
