On Friday, the acting president of the Board Of Control For Cricket In India (BCCI), CK Khanna clarified that the Indian board has “no plans to shift” India’s final two ODIs against Australia in Mohali and Delhi. There were some speculations roaming around regarding the shifting of those matches in the wake of increased tensions between India and Pakistan after the country violated the Indian airspace in Jammu and Kashmir.

Talking to PTI, Khanna said, “There is certainly no such plan to shift any of the games from their original venues. I can confirm that both ODIs in Mohali and Delhi, is happening as per schedule.”

The Indian cricket team unveiled the new look of the ODI jersey which comprises of same colors for the Blue Brigade. But with a difference in the design. The new kit is quite simple just with some more shades of blue along with some shades of saffron. And ‘India’ is written much bolder than title sponsor Oppo’s logo in front.
