Although it has hosted T20s and ODIs regularly, the HPCA had made plans to relay the entire outfield keeping the local weather conditions in mind. The relaying work started post-monsoon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Usually, when the pitch and the outfield are relaid, the common practice is to test it during a match. But so far that hasn\u2019t happened, the official said. Right through the Ranji Trophy season, Himachal played their home matches at Nadaun as the work continued at Dharamshala.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>India have won the first Test by an innings and 132 runs in Nagpur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The second of four Tests begins next Friday in New\u00a0Delhi.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The third Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, originally scheduled to take place in Dharamsala has now been moved to Indore.
