The fifth test in the current series between India and England is scheduled to be held at Chennai's MA Chidambaram Stadium from Dec. 16-20, but local media reported that the BCCI is considering switching venues.
"An unfortunate incident has taken place in Chennai, but the BCCI is making clear that no decision has been taken regarding Chennai test," BCCI secretary Ajay Shirke told a news conference on Tuesday.
"We're keeping a close watch on the situation and taking inputs from the local association about sentiments of the people. We will act accordingly."
India lead the five-match series 2-0 ahead of the fourth test in Mumbai starting on Thursday.
