Rovers set India date
Blackburn Rovers will become the first English Premier League side to play in India when they take part in an exhibition match in Pune next month, organisers said on Monday.
Rovers, owned by Indian poultry firm Venky's, were scheduled to play Pune Football Club in July, but the game was postponed following a bomb attack in Mumbai. The match will now be held on October 7.
The English club had earlier announced they were also planning to establish a youth academy near Pune.
