Four matches scheduled to be played at Kolkata's Eden Gardens have been shifted to Bangalore and Hyderabad due to rainy weather. The group B matched that were scheduled to be played on September 25 and 27 will now be played at Hyderabad while Bangalore will play host to a game involving the home team on September 29.
President of the Cricket Association of Bengal, Jagmohan Dalmiya said in a statement that the matches were moved to the other venues in the best interests of the multi-starrer tournament, "With regret and in the best interests of the tournament, CAB [Cricket Association of Bengal] and CLT20 have reluctantly agreed to moving its four scheduled Group B matches away from Eden Gardens due to the heavy rains that have deluged Kolkata."
"We're disappointed that we're not able to host the matches, but this decision was unavoidable and taken out of our hands due to the current weather conditions. We wish CLT20 luck for the tournament and hope CAB will have the chance to host the event in the coming years," he added.
The shift of the venues is still subject to approval from the local authorities.
