Test venues switched for SA tour

The venues for the two Tests on South Africa's forthcoming tour of India have been switched to save travelling time, the Board of Cricket Control in India (BCCI) said on Monday.

South Africa, who open their tour with a three-day match against the Board President's XI in Bombay on February 19, now play the first Test in Bombay from February 24-28 and the second Test in Bangalore from March 2-6.

The BCCI's original schedule had the first Test in Bangalore and the second Test in Bombay.

South Africa will also play five one-day matches against India on March 9, 11, 14, 17 and 20 at venues to be finalised.
