England agree to Test series, says India
England have confirmed they will play a two-Test series in India
later this month, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) said
on Monday.
The schedule for the series has once again been revised with the
first Test in the southern city of Chennai from December 11-15 and the
second in northern Mohali from Dec 19-23, a BCCI statement said. The
three-day tour match from Dec 5-7 has been cancelled, it added.
A formal announcement from the England and Wales Board (ECB) was
expected later on Monday.
“The ECB has informed BCCI that England are agreeable to tour India
and play two tests,” the statement said.
