The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has announced a venue change for the upcoming India-Sri Lanka series, moving the first One Day International from New Delhi to an alternative location yet to be confirmed.

The decision was revealed on Thursday, November 5, 2026, though the BCCI did not immediately disclose the new venue or the reason behind the switch. The series schedule beyond the opening ODI remains unchanged pending further updates.

India and Sri Lanka are set to contest a multi-format series, with the ODI leg originally slated to begin in the capital. The relocation marks a significant logistical adjustment for both teams and broadcasters ahead of the tour.
