7 Nov 2013 5:56 AM IST
BCCI on Wednesday confirmed the third ODI between India and the West Indies will be held at Kanpur’s Green Park stadium on 27 November. BCCI said in a statement the opening two ODIs against the West Indies, to be held at Kochi and Vishakhapatnam, will be day-night affairs while the third ODI at Kanpur will be a day game.
Kanpur and Baroda were in contention to host the final ODI of the series. Green Park stadium will thus host an international match after three years with the last one being a Test between India and Sri Lanka which the hosts comfortably won.
The closest it came to hosting an international game after that was a Test against Australia earlier this year which was not granted after Cricket Australia’s recce team returned unhappy with its preparations.
