NEW DELHI. Feb 1: The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCC1) on Saturday shifted the venue for the second Test match between India and Australia to Calcutta from Cuttack.

A BCCI spokesman told Reuters the change was made because of logistical problems ented out by former Indian ptain Kapil Dev, who had been asked to assess all venues for the Australian tour.

The Australian Cricket Board (ACB) had also favoured scheduling a match at Calcutta's Eden Gardens, which attracts the largest crowd for Test matches in India.

Cuttack has now been allocated a match in the triangular one-day series between India and Zimbabwe, which was earlier scheduled to be played in Calcutta.
