India "reveal ICC Trophy venues"

Board of Control for Cricket in India - India Cricket News & Photos Latest Cricket News:

"India say they have won the right to stage this autumn's ICC Champions Trophy at four different venues, rather than the usual three allowed.
Cricket chiefs in India want to use Mumbai's smaller Brabourne stadium, plus the regular international grounds in Ahmedabad, Mohali and Jaipur.
AFP news agency claimed India had agreed to pay £115,000 compensation to the International Cricket Council. The tournament takes place over four weeks from 7 October.
India are trying to avoid areas which might get seasonal rain at that time of year. England will have little time to recover from their summer season before it begins, and they start their Ashes tour days after it finishes.
The final programme for the tournament, which the ICC uses to raise funds for developmental activities, will be unveiled in New Delhi on 27 April. England, beaten finalists in 2004, must finish above either Australia or India in their group to make the semi-finals. "
