Mumbai: Team India is forced to stay in Pune despite the first one-day international against England getting over on Sunday. The second ODI between the two teams is scheduled to be played on Thursday in Cuttack.

Both the teams will stay in Pune till Tuesday as the rooms in the hotel that the teams are supposed to stay are available only from Wednesday morning. The rooms are not available before Wednesday as they are already booked for wedding purposes.

“The team will be coming to Cuttack on Wednesday morning at 11:30 am and train around 4 pm in the afternoon. Actually, the hotel is overbooked till Tuesday and there are no rooms available for the teams. But rooms are available from Wednesday and so the delay in the travel plans,” Orissa Cricket Association(OCA) secretary Ashirbad Behera was quoted as saying by cricketnext.

“Everything is in order and we are hoping that the match will be a great success just like the first ODI in Pune. As for the hotels, we can’t really help when it comes to these things. We can only book rooms when we have it available,” Behera added.

India beat England by three wickets in the first ODI as they chased down the mammoth target of 351 set by the visiting team.
