The first T20I between India and Bangladesh set to be played on October 6 later this year has been moved from Dharamsala to Gwalior, as BCCI announced a revised schedule on Tuesday.

The Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association (HPCA) stadium in Dharamsala is undergoing upgrades and renovation in the dressing rooms, the release stated.

The match in Gwalior will be hosted in a new stadium - Shrimant Madhavrao Scindia Cricket Stadium. This will be the first match to be played in the city since the historic India vs South Africa ODI game in 2010 where Sachin Tendulkar scored his double century.

Further, the venues for the first two T20Is between India and England in January 2025 have been swapped. The first T20I (January 22), which was earlier supposed to be held in Chennai, will now be played in Kolkata. Chennai will host the second T20I on January 25.

“The venue change was necessitated following a request from Kolkata Police to the Cricket Association of Bengal regarding their prior Republic Day commitments and obligations,” BCCI added.
