India will be opening their T20 World Cup campaign against New Zealand on March 15.

None of the four matches to be played at Chepauk will be televised due to the closed stands.

A BCCI official confirmed to The Hindu that the ICC wasn’t keen on continuing with Chennai as a venue once it was clear that three stands would remain locked during the tournament.

However, a compromise was reached once it was proposed that the broadcaster would be informed not to televise any games in Chennai.
