The chief executive of the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB), Tim
Lamb, will meet the Indian Cricket Board (BCCI) officials in Mumbai on
Friday to explore the possibility of making couple of changes in the
venues for England's winter tour of India.
The ECB officials are not happy with two main venues - Kanpur and
Mohali in Chandigarh - as they claim that there are no direct flights
to Kanpur. Chandigarh also does not have a five-star hotel.
However, the BCCI officials insist that Mohali has a fantastic ground
with very good dressing rooms for the teams. The hotels in Chandigarh
offer good facilities and moreover it is left to the host nation to
choose the venues, the sources added.
