BCCI won't reschedule IPL match

The BCCI has turned down ICC's request of rescheduling an IPL match in Kolkata during its annual board meeting in Kolkata from April 22-26.

It's after a long time that ICC is having its high profile meeting in Kolkata and since it will overlap with the cash-rich league, cricket's world governing body wanted BCCI to ensure that its members could at least watch a home match of Kolkata Knight Riders.

"Yes, there was a specific request from ICC as they wanted its various member delegates to watch an IPL game. However between April 22 and 26, there are no home games of KKR at the Eden Gardens," a senior BCCI official told PTI on conditions of anonymity.

KKR is playing a home match on April 16 and their next home game is on May 3.
