More than a dozen changes have been incorporated by the Indian Premier League authorities in the revised schedule of the Twenty20 League whose third edition is to be held from March 12-April 25.
These changes were made after IPL shifted all matches of Deccan Chargers from Hyderabad and Visakhapatnam to other centres because of the ongoing Telengana agitation in Andhra Pradesh.
Some matches not involving Deccan Chargers also had to be given a tweak in the new schedule put up on its website www.iplt20.com.
Nagpur, discarded as an option for the Mumbai Indians to play its home ties, now hosts three matches of Deccan Chargers.
The other four ties featuring the Hyderabad franchise, including the opening match, would be held in Navi Mumbai's D Y Patil Stadium.
The revised schedule is: Mar 12 - Deccan Chargers (DC) vs Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), Navi Mumbai, 8 pm.
Mar 13 - Mumbai Indians (MI) vs Rajasthan Royals (RR), Mumbai, 3 pm; Kings XI Punjab (KXIP) vs Delhi Daredevils (DD), Mohali, 8 pm.
Mar 14 - KKR vs Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), Kolkata, 4 pm; Chennai Super Kings (CSK) vs DC, Chennai, 8 pm.
