Cuttack to stage additional one-dayer

The Barabati stadium in Cuttack will stage the additional one-day international match in the limited overs series against England as per an agreement between the Board of Control for Cricket in India and the England and Wales Cricket Board.

''England has confirmed to play an additional one-day international and Cuttack has been chosen as the venue. The match will be played on January 22,'' BCCI president Jagmohan Dalmiya announced at a press conference in Kolkata on Friday.

An agreement was signed Thurday evening between Dalmiya and Lord Ian MacLaurin, the chairman of ECB, to finalise the tour arrangements between the two countries.

Dalmiya said the Indian team that will tour England in the summer of 2002 will play four Test matches and a triangular series featuring India, England and Sri Lanka.

He said the additional match had necessiated a revision in the one-day international series itinerary with the Kolkata one-dayer being preponed by three days. The day and night match at the Eden Gardens, which was scheduled on January 22, will now be played on January 19 followed by the Cuttack one-dayer, which will be a day match.

Dalmiya said the ECB has agreed to compensate for the Indian team's participation in additional matches on the 2002 tour. The England team will play four Tests and five one-day internationals during its tour of India in 2006 or three Tests and a triangular series that may feature seven one-day internationals.

He said the arrangements for tours after 2006 will be discussed between the BCCI and ECB at a later stage. Dalmiya also said that the English teams travel plans and logistics are being worked out.

On whether the one-day tournament against England will be played with coloured clothing, Dalmiya said the BCCI had not arrived at a final decision yet. ''But since three of the six matches will be day and night affairs, it could be a possiblity.''
