These updates aim to ensure smooth match operations and better facilities for players and fans. Matches across formats, Tests, ODIs, and T20Is will now be held at different venues than originally planned.

Renovations, pitch preparation, and availability of stadiums were key factors in deciding the new locations. Officials have worked to ensure that matches are still held on the same dates wherever possible, keeping the overall season calendar intact.
