A cricket match originally scheduled at Delhi’s Arun Jaitley Stadium has been moved to Feroz Shah Kotla due to hazardous air quality levels.
Delhi’s air quality index reached hazardous levels, prompting authorities to relocate the scheduled cricket match.
The match, originally set to take place at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, was moved to the Feroz Shah Kotla Ground.
Officials cited the rise in particulate matter and smog as the main reason for the change, prioritizing players’ and spectators’ health.
The relocation was announced by the Delhi Sports Council on Thursday, with the new venue expected to accommodate the same audience capacity.
The match will proceed as planned on the revised date, with teams and fans urged to monitor official updates.
