Goa gets ODI vs Eng, pending clearance By: PTI October 30, 2005 New Delhi: Goa Cricket Association, currently facing an inquiry by the Cricket Board over alleged malpractices during the one-dayer against Australia in 2001, will host England for a one-day international provided the centre is cleared by the BCCI. “Goa will host a one-day international against England provided the report of the BCCI Disciplinary Committee exonerates it and the findings are ratified by the Board’s Working Committee,” BCCI Secretary S K Nair said. The state association is facing charges of selling ‘duplicate’ tickets for the ODI played on April 6, 2001. The BCCI Programmes and Fixtures Committee on Saturday allotted the three Test matches to be played against Sri Lanka in December to Delhi, Kanpur and Chennai. The matches would be held on December 2-6, December 10-14 and December 18-22 but the order of the venues would be decided later. Ahmedabad, Nagpur and Mumbai would host Test matches against England next year. The dates for the matches are March 8-12, March 16-20 and March 25-29 to be followed by seven ODIs on April 4, 7, 10, 13, 16, 19 and 22. Apart from Goa, the visiting Englishmen would play the remaining one-day internationals at Indore, Guwahati, Faridabad, Cuttack, Kochi and Visakhapatnam.
