The second limited-overs international between India and Sri Lanka has been rescheduled to a new venue to avoid protests in the southern Indian state of Andhra Pradesh.



The Indian government\'s plan to split up Andhra Pradesh state triggered protests by thousands of people last week. Vishakhapatnam, a Port town in the state, was to hold the match on December 18.



The day-night match will now be played in Nagpur on the same day.



India and Sri Lanka will play five one-dayers, beginning tomorrow at Rajkot.



India already has won a three-test series and drawn the two-match 20/20 series with Sri Lanka.
