MUMBAI: The Irani Cup tie, slated to be held in Mumbai, will be relocated due to the city's prolonged monsoon season, TOI has learnt.
The match, which pits Ranji Trophy champions Mumbai against the Rest of India, is now likely to take place at either the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad or the Ekana Stadium in Lucknow.
While announcing the 2024-25 domestic calendar, the BCCI had scheduled the tourney in Mumbai, but the extended wet spell in the city makes it unable to hold a five-day game of this importance.
Led Ajinkya Rahane, Mumbai won the Ranji Trophy in March, beating a spirited Vidarbha by 169 runs at the Wankhede Stadium.
