Dharamsala, Jan 23:
Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association today sought to dispel doubts expressed at some quarters over the holding of the fifth and final one-dayer between India and England here on January 27, with its secretary saying that stadium was all set to host the match.
The cold weather prevailing in the region has led to some casting doubts over the holding of the match but the officials here were going ahead full steam for a full game.
HPCA secretary Vishal Marwaha said the organisers were “hopeful” of getting a full 50-over contest in the first ODI in the state.
“We are set for the match. Only last-minute preparations are left and we are confident there will be no interruptions,” said Marwaha.
Besides hosting a first-class game involving Pakistan in 2005, the HPCA Stadium has also been the venue of IPL matches over the past couple of years, serving as the second home for the Kings XI Punjab franchise.(PTI)
