India to host S Africa for 2 tests, 3 ODIs
Saturday, 9 January 2010
NEW DELHI, Jan 8 (AP): India will host South Africa for two Test matches and three limited-overs internationals in February.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has allocated the Tests to Nagpur and Calcutta, while the one-day internationals will be played in Jaipur, Kanpur and Ahmadabad.
South Africa's tour originally comprised five one-dayers, but Cricket South Africa has now accepted India's request to play two tests after curtailing the number of one-day matches.
Press Trust of India Friday quoted unnamed officials as saying that a two-day warmup game as well as the opening Test match will be played in Nagpur.
The BCCI is expected to release the tour itinerary next week.
