Despite recent reports circulating in various media outlets that suggested the venue might be shifted, the governing body has clarified that the match will proceed as scheduled in Delhi.

While the reports of a venue change gained traction in the sports media cycle, the BCCI’s statement provides a definitive stance on the matter. The organization has not provided specific reasons for why the rumors of a relocation surfaced, nor have they commented on the logistical or administrative factors that might have prompted such speculation. By confirming the original venue, the BCCI aims to stabilize the planning for the series and ensure that fans and stakeholders can proceed with the established itinerary. No further changes to the series schedule have been announced at this time, and the focus remains on the upcoming competition between the two national teams.
