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.

ISSF World Cup, Munich 2025: Elavenil Valarivan wins bronze medal in 10m air rifle
Elavenil Valarivan got India's campaign at the ISSF World Cup in Munich up and running in style on Tuesday with a bronze medal in women's 10m air rifle. The 25-year-old, who had finished fourth in Munich 2018, went one better to return this time around to bag the very first medal rewarded at the rifle and pistol competition. Elavenil had finished second in qualification with a high 635.9 and for a major part of the final looked good to return home with the gold. But a 9.8 off her penultimate shot, saw her finish with 231.2. China's Wang Zifei and Korea's Kwon Eunji had the tightest of last series, which saw the former clinch gold by a margin of 0.1 points. Zifei had earlier topped qualification as well, with an unheard-of 637.9. It became the new Qualification World Record across senior and junior sections. Earlier in the day, Esha Singh shot 294 in the 25m pistol precision to give herself a good cushion ahead of the rapid stage on Wednesday. TS Divya and Manu Bhaker with 291 and 290 respectively at the midway stage have to push hard to make the final of the event.

Pep Guardiola receives honorary degree from University of Manchester
Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola was awarded an honorary degree by the University of Manchester to recognize his contribution on and off the field since joining the club in 2016. Guardiola was presented with an honorary doctorate by the university's chancellor on Monday at a ceremony to honor his success with City, including leading the team to six Premier League titles and the Champions League, and in the community, notably through his Guardiola Sala Foundation. I have spent nine years here and it has become home, Guardiola said. The people, the culture, my incredible football club, my colleagues it is all so special to me and my family. When I arrived here in 2016, I did not know how long I would spend here. The way this city embraced me made everything easy. My time here has been beautiful. Professor Duncan Ivison, who is the university's president and vice chancellor, described Guardiola as an innovator and a winner who has inspired millions of people through his success as a manager. He has played a huge role in making Manchester a global success story, he said, and we are honored that he has chosen to accept this degree. I hope that this forges another important connection between him, the University of Manchester, and the city.

U.S host cities brace for uncertainty ahead of 2026 FIFA World Cup
Philadelphia's host city executive for the 2026 World Cup says organizers accept that an immigration crackdown by President Donald Trump's administration may be among the outside events that impact next year's tournament. "There are certainly things that are happening at the national level, the international level, there are going to be geopolitical issues that we don't even know right now that are going affect the tournament next year, so we recognize that we're planning within uncertainty, Meg Kane said Monday at a gathering of the 11 U.S. host city leaders, one year and two days ahead of the tournament opener. The World Cup will be played at 16 stadiums in the U.S., Mexico and Canada from June 11 to July 19 next year, a tournament expanded to 48 nations and 104 games. All matches from the quarterfinals on will be in the U.S., with the final at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey. Whether it's the Olympics, whether it's a World Cup, whether it's a Super Bowl, you name it, anytime you've got a major international sporting event, geopolitics is going to have a role, said Alex Vasry, CEO of the New York/New Jersey host committee. Kane said the host committees must adapt to decisions made by others. One of the things that I think we all recognize is that we have to be really good at operating within that uncertainty, Kane said. I think for each of our cities, we want to be prepared to make any person that is coming and makes the decision to come to the United States or come to this World Cup feel that they are welcome. We do not play a role necessarily in what is happening in terms of the decisions that are made. Trump's travel ban on citizens from 12 countries exempted athletes, coaches, staff and relatives while not mentioning fans. We allow for FIFA to continue having constructive conversations with the administrations around visas, around workforce, around tourism, Kane said. FIFA is running the World Cup for the first time without a local organizing committee in the host nation. Asked in late April whether FIFA president Gianni Infantino was available to discuss the tournament, FIFA director of media relations Bryan Swanson forwarded the request to a member of the media relations staff, who did not make Infantino available. Legislation approved by the House of Representatives and awaiting action in the Senate would appropriate $625 million to the Federal Emergency Management Agency for security, planning, and other costs related to the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The 11 U.S. host committees have been consulting with each other on issues such as transportation for teams and VIPs, and for arranging fan fests. At the last major soccer tournament in the U.S., the 2024 Copa America final at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida, started 82 minutes late after fans breached security gates. Certainly we were not involved in the planning or the logistics for that particular match, said Alina Hudak, CEO of the Miami World Cup host committee. She said local police have done an extensive review of the after-action reports related to that in collaboration with the stadium and so all of the things that happened are in fact being reviewed and addressed and I can assure you that everything is being done within our power to make sure that the appropriate measures are being placed, the appropriate perimeters.
