New Delhi :

The fourth Test is set to take place in Feroz Shah Kolta but due to alleged finical irregularities within Delhi and District Cricket Association (DDCA) the match can be shifted to Pune. Keeping things in mind, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Thursday set up a two-member panel to probe the allegations.

The Delhi CM is trying to set the house in order and asked the Sports Secretary KK Sharma to submit report within 24 hours.

Delhi skipper Gautam Gambhir is also expected to meet Kejriwal after he had tiff with DDCA officials.   The DDCA officials appointed former India all-rounder Ajay Jadeja was appointed Delhi's coach at the start of ongoing Ranji Trophy season but Gambhir resisted it. Later on Jadeja stepped down.

Earlier this week, the BCCI had set November 17 as deadline for the DCCA to get things in order to host the final Test between India and South Africa scheduled to start December 3.

The DDCA is running bankrupt and hence unable to meet the Rs. 24 crore demanded by the government as entertainment tax for the Test.

In September also, DDCA expressed its inability to host South Africa's T20 practice game, following which it was shifted to Palam.

The state government is trying its every possible thing to host the match in Delhi.
