India-Pakistan game moved to Kolkata

The India-Pakistan World T20 match scheduled for March 19th, was moved to Eden Gardens in Kolkata, due to security concerns over the original venue Dharamsala.

ICC Chief Executive David Richardson made the announcement in Delhi yesterday, ending weeks of uncertainty over the fixture, which began with the Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister saying his government would not be able to provide adequate security for the teams.

The PCB, however, has continued to delay the departure of the Pakistan men's and women's teams to India pending assurance from the BCCI or the Indian government.
