The picturesque stadium in Himachal Pradesh's Dharamsala town is all set to host international cricket matches with the International Cricket Council (ICC) giving it clearance, an official said here Friday.

Concerned with the dwindling crowds for international cricket matches, former India captain Rahul Dravid said fans have sent a strong message that should not be ignored.

The ODIs are perceived to be on the decline and it's none other than Sachin Tendulkar who has now come out publicly in support of revamping the current 50-over format, having written a letter to ICC Chief Executive Haroon Lorgat.

Veteran Indian batsman Rahul Dravid admitted that he had to work harder on the shorter format of the game than he did in Test cricket, on the eve of his final ODI match.

Gautam Gambhir is expected to consult a medical specialist in Manchester on Tuesday and a decision on whether he will play in the ODI series against England or return home will be made on the basis of the report.

As a cricket fan, I have a lot of respect for what your team has achieved in the past few weeks but I humbly threaten you to return the trophy and make it 4-0 in favour of India.

Going by the present form, it looks highly unlikely but if India can manage to beat England by a 4-1 margin or better in the upcoming one-day series, they can climb to second spot from third in the ICC ranking chart.

The suspect action of India women's team's Snehal Pradhan was confirmed by the International Cricket Council on Wednesday. The seamer has been suspended as a consequent, from bowling in international matches.

The fate of Rahul Dravid's ODI future lies solely in the hands of skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni as the selection committee meets in Chennai on Saturday to pick the squad for the one-off T20 and the five-match ODI series against England to follow.
