England deny agreeing to extra one-dayer
Wisden CricInfo staff - December 18, 2001

Wednesday, December 19, 2001 LONDON (Reuters)
England have denied agreeing to extend an upcoming one-day international series against India from five matches to six but said the matter was still being discussed. Earlier the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) said an agreement had been reached, with only the details to thrash out.

"They have agreed in principle. We are looking at logistics, whether to play immediately after they arrive, or after the Mumbai game," BCCI secretary Niranjan Shah told Reuters. "I think within 3-4 days, we should know."

But a spokesman for the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) responded by saying: "Nothing has been agreed. We are still in ongoing discussions."

The Indian board had earlier warned that if England refused to play a sixth one-dayer during the January 22-February 3 series they would in turn pull out of a commitment to play four Tests rather than three in England later this year. The BCCI also wants the ECB to agree to play five Tests when their team next tours India in 2006.
