BCCI to be flexible in finalising Test venues

NEW DELHI, FEB. 8. The Board of Control For Cricket in India would be ``flexible'' in dealing with Pakistan's request for changing Ahmedabad as a Test venue during its tour starting later this month. "We are discussing the issue with PCB officials, we have to find a solution that is acceptable to everyone. We will be flexible," BCCI secretary S.K. Nair told PTI over phone from Thiruvananthapuram.

Nair said the BCCI would try to ``accommodate'' the concerns of the visiting team while finalising the itinerary for the three Tests and five one-dayers that the two teams are scheduled to play. "We have to keep our options open to thrash out the issue at the earliest. Pakistan has objected to Ahmedabad due to security reasons but we have no alternative venue in mind yet," he said.

But the BCCI secretary said he was confident of the stalemate being resolved amicably. "I am sure it will be sorted out soon and we will be in a position to draw up the fixtures at the Board's Working Committee meeting in Delhi on February 17." — PTI
