Notably, the original schedule had Nagpur, Chennai, Guwahati, Ranchi, and Ahmedabad as the five venues for the series. However, the Indian team management has raised concerns about the limited daylight in eastern India during January and February, with poor visibility potentially affecting playing time.
According to Jagran News, Visakhapatnam, Hyderabad, and Rajkot are being considered as possible replacements for Ranchi. However, the BCCI has not taken a final decision on the venue change.
The proposed five-match Test series is scheduled to begin on January 21. Nagpur is set to host the first Test, followed by Chennai, Guwahati, Ranchi, and Ahmedabad.

However, there are currently no plans to move the Guwahati Test. The match is expected to remain at the Dr. Bhupen Hazarika Cricket Stadium, with a possible change to the start time being considered to make better use of the available daylight.
BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia is from Assam, but there is no indication that his background is the reason for Guwahati retaining the match. The reported proposal is focused on adjusting the timing rather than moving the Test to another venue.
