The IPL match between the Kings of Punjab and the Indians of Mumbai, scheduled for May 11 in Dharamsala, was transferred to Ahmedabad due to the closure of the airport in the city of Hill following a military action against terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan.
The secretary of the Gujarat Cricket Association (GCA), Anil Patel, confirmed development in PTI. The game will be played in the afternoon.
“BCCI asked us and we accepted. The Mumbai Indians later arrive during the day and the travel plans of the Kings of Punjab will be known later,” said Patel.
Thursday, the Kings of Punjab face the capitals of Delhi in Dharamsala.
Dharamsala airport has been closed for commercial flights at least until May 10 following India military strikes on terrorist infrastructure inside Pakistan and Pakistan, occupied Jammu-Cachemire and Kashmir in retaliation for the terrorist attack on April 22.
It remains to be seen how the kings of Punjab and the capitals of Delhi are transported from Dharamsala with closed flight operations in the picturesque city. Chandigarh Airport has also been closed, the teams must find a way to go to Delhi.
Like the kings of Punjab, the capitals of Delhi should also play on May 11 when they face the Titans of Gujarat at home.
A Punjab Kings official said that the BCCI had not yet informed the franchise about the change of location.
“We have not yet heard of the BCCI. We can only determine the travel plans once we have fully clarified.” Punjab Kings has been about to make its first IPL qualifiers since 2014.
