Hyderabad will not host matches

Hyderabad, home to the Deccan Chargers, will not host any IPL matches in the third season of the tournament following a decision of the league to shift all matches scheduled to be held in the state. However, the decision - a response to a separatist movement in Andhra Pradesh that has seen sporadic violence - has sparked outrage in the state and in Hyderabad, the capital, with the regional government demanding a rethink.
