The first ODI between India and Sri Lanka is all set to be moved out of the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi. The Delhi and District Cricket Association (DDCA) has requested the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) to shift the December 13 game out of the national capital.

According to sources, the DDCA is believed to have written to the BCCI, citing its inability to host the match on the scheduled date. The association is believed to have cited multiple reasons for the request, including the pollution levels in Delhi at this time of the year. The stadium, of course, is also undergoing renovation.
