New Delhi - The timings of the four day-night games in the five-match One-day International series between India and England have been revised keeping the dew factor in mind.

The day-night matches will now start at 12 noon and end before 8 p.m.

“The timings have been revised to counter the ‘dew’ factor and ensure the best playing conditions for both teams,” said BCCI secretary Sanjay Jagadale.

The series starts in Rajkot Jan 11 with the subsequent matches in Kochi (Jan 15), Ranchi (Jan 19), Mohali (Jan 23) and Dharamsala (Jan 27).

The final game in Dharamsala will start at 9 a.m.
