Arun Jaitley Stadium ruled out for India vs Sri Lanka ODI on December 13

Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi has been ruled out as a venue for the day-night ODI between India and Sri Lanka on December 13, 2026. The Delhi and District Cricket Association has informed the BCCI that extensive renovation work makes the ground unavailable. The renovation includes a complete relaying of the pitches and outfield, plus installation of a new drainage system designed to allow play to resume within half an hour of rain. The DDCA has earmarked Palam and Jamia Millia grounds as alternative venues for Delhi's domestic fixtures during the work period. Delhi's Ranji Trophy season begins against Gujarat at Palam on October 18. The BCCI has yet to name a replacement venue for the ODI.
