India game rescheduled for Mandela funeral

A warm-up match between India and a South African Invitation XI has been rescheduled around Nelson Mandela's funeral on December 15.

India's two-day match against a South African Invitation XI will be brought forward by a day to avoid a clash with the funeral of former South African president Nelson Mandela.

The match, a warm-up for India's two Test matches against South Africa, will be played on Friday and Saturday, December 13 and 14.

The match was originally scheduled to end on December 15, the day of Mandela's funeral.
