The ICC have approved four venues for the Champions Trophy which will be held in India later this year.
Previously they had insisted on the host country using just three venues but accepted the Indian boards compensation offer of US$200,000 to add a fourth venue. The BCCI had requested the extra venue because of the size of India and the demand of its members to host matches.
Mumbais Brabourne Stadium, the Sardar Patel stadium in Ahmedabad, the Punjab Cricket Association ground in Mohali and the Sawai Man Singh stadium in Jaipur will host for the limited-overs tournament which lasts for a month.
West Indies are the current holders, having beaten England in the final at The Oval in 2004.
