Eden Gardens to now host 1st Test against South Africa in November. Check India's updated home season
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) made some venue changes for the upcoming home season on Monday. The Eden Gardens in Kolkata, which was earlier slated to host the second Test between India and West Indies in October 2025, will now host the first Test between India and South Africa in November.
The second Test between India and West Indies will now be played at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi.
'The 2nd Test against West Indies, originally slated for Kolkata, will now be held at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi. Meanwhile, the 1st Test against South Africa, starting November 14, 2025, has been shifted from New Delhi to Eden Gardens in Kolkata,' the BCCI said in an official release.
The outfield and the pitches are also being revamped at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. Hence the upcoming ODI series between India and Australia Women has been moved out of Chennai.
The first two ODIs will now take place at the New PCA stadium in New Chandigarh, while the third and final ODI will be held at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi.
The three one-day games between India A and South Africa A have also been moved from M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru to the Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Rajkot. The BCCI has not provided a specific reason for this.

‘Look at me, you PIG' snaps controversial tennis star Fabio Fognini during tense handshake after defeat to Corentin Moutet at Stuttgart Open
He might be on his last leg of his tennis career, but the passions haven't certainly dimmed for the 38-year old Italian player Fabio Fognini. At the Stuttgart Open, Fognini, the former world no. 9 playing on a wildcard entry for the event, called his rival Corentin Moutet a 'pig'. The incident came at the end of the first-round game, where emotions bubbled up. At one point Fognini snapped his racquet over his knee and threw it away. Moutet won the match 6-4, 6-7, 6-3, hit a ball into the stands to celebrate and walked over for the customary handshake. Even as Fognini kept saying something to him, Moutet didn't respond verbally, just patted his opponent on the back after the handshake, and moved away from him to shake the referee's hand. Fognini hadn't stopped talking. Spicy handshake 🌶️@moutet99 wins the battle of the entertainers 6-4 6-7 6-3 vs Fognini 🍿#BOSSOPEN — Tennis TV (@TennisTV) June 10, 2025 Angered by something, Fognini reportedly snapped in French: 'Regarde-moi, petit cochon!' – or 'Look at me, you little pig!' He then allegedly added in Italian, 'You're a piece of s***!' The fracas has been reported by the Italian sports newspaper La Gazzetta dello Sport, and others. Fognini is no stranger to on-court controversy. In the Tokyo Olympics he apologized for yelling at himself with an anti-gay slur during a loss. ''Obviously I didn't want to offend anyone's feelings,' Fognini added. 'I love the LGBT community and I apologise for the nonsense that I let out,' he had written on an Instagram post with a rainbow background. In the US Open in 2017, he was ejected out of the doubles tournament for vulgarly insulting the chair umpire during his first-round loss in singles. He was then handed a suspended ban of two Grand Slam tournaments. Louise Engzelle, the Swedish umpire, had reported Fognini after he called her, in Italian, very abusive words, that can't be reported here even with the usage of asterisks.

Will Boston Bruins take a chance with ex-Chicago Blackhawks centre Jonathan Toews?
Jonathan Toews (via Getty Images) Veteran Chicago Blackhawks captain Jonathan Toews is considering an NHL return after two years on the sidelines, and the Boston Bruins may be a club that could gain valuable experience from his veteran wisdom. While the Boston Bruins are in transition and in search of adding depth to their leadership corps, acquiring a tested champion in Jonathan Toews is an interesting proposition on the topics of strategy, chemistry, and timing. Jonathan Toews can give Boston Bruins the leadership and experience needed to rebuild their foundation Jonathan Toews has not played an NHL game since April 13, 2023. Now it seems he is ready to return to pro hockey. After taking time off because of chronic inflammatory response syndrome (CIRS) and residual symptoms from long COVID-19, Jonathan Toews has been on a healing journey that involved holistic therapy in India. Now 37 years old, the three-time Stanley Cup winner wants another chance in the NHL. The Boston Bruins now turn to emerging leaders such as David Pastrnak and Charlie McAvoy to lead the charge. Yet, the roster still does not have the vet stability that a player like Toews might provide—particularly in a middle-six role. His role wouldn't necessarily be goal-oriented but, instead, defensive dependability, playoff acclimation, and guidance for Boston's emerging core. Jonathan Toews Planning NHL Comeback — Maple Leafs a Potential Fit? 👀 There is precedent for such a move. The Carolina Hurricanes still depend upon Jordan Staal in much the same role. Jonathan Toews might assume the role once occupied by Nick Foligno—a steady, defense-savvy, and locker room presence leader. For the Boston Bruins, signing Jonathan Toews on a short-term contract (2 years, $3-4 million AAV) might fill the gap during their present transitional period without using up large cap resources. But the risks are legitimate. Jonathan Toews hasn't appeared in two years, and his previous season was statistically his worst—a mere 31 points in 53 games in 2022–23. There's no certainty he'll rediscover himself, and the Boston Bruins may rather concentrate on bringing back younger players such as Morgan Geekie or pursuing more exciting assets in free agency. The other wrinkle is motivation. Toews might prefer to join a Stanley Cup contender, and the Boston Bruins, for all it history, might not be seen as a Cup favorite in the next couple of seasons. If he's starving for another Cup run, there might be more attractive clubs further down the contention trail. Also read: Jonathan Toews' comeback nears as the Winnipeg Jets lead the race to sign the former Blackhawks captain For the Boston Bruins, acquiring Jonathan Toews would be a risk with reward. His resume is self-explanatory, and as a mentor, he might assist Boston in developing its next generation of leaders. But issues with his conditioning, age, and compatibility with the Bruins' long-term vision could be deal-killers. If Boston does make an offer, it should have expectations in line—leadership in the forefront, performance secondary. And if everything pans out, Toews may be a central figure in bringing back the Bruins' championship bloodlines.
