Tour venues to be decided on Tuesday

September 06, 2005 00:13 IST

The Indian cricket board's Tours Programmes and Fixtures Committee is meeting in Mumbai on Tuesday to decide on the dates and venues of 12 one-day internationals to be played at home in October and November.

India would face Sri Lanka in a best-of-seven one-day international series from October 15 to November 12 and then take on South Africa in a five-match series from November 17-29.

"The board's sub-committee is expected to decide the venues as per the rotation formula, besides keeping in view the logistics of the teams' travel convenience, like flight connections within the country," a board source told PTI on Monday.

"As per the rotation formula quite a few matches against the Lankans are due to be allotted to West Zone centres like Pune, Rajkot and Vadodara, but it all would depend on the logistics," he added.

The Lankans are scheduled to make a return visit in December to play a series of three Tests against India, but those dates and venues, as well as the full itinerary of the March-April, 2006 home series against England would be decided later after the boards AGM, according to BCCI secretary S K Nair.
