International Cricket Council (ICC) observer, former Sri Lankan cricket captain Ranjan Madugalle, will visit Indore on January 15 to inspect the local Nehru Stadium, according to the Madhya Pradesh Cricket Association (MPCA) in Indore on Saturday.

The visit would be significant in view of the fact that on January 22 detailed itinerary of the Australia's proposed tour of India would be announced, the MPCA said.

If Madugalle submits a favourable report, then Indore might get a chance to host one of the matches to be played between India and Australia.

Along with Madugalle, the Board of Control for Cricket India (BCCI) observer Polly Umrigar too would visit Indore.

The sources said that during his last visit, Umrigar was satisfied with the pitch conditions at the Nehru Stadium.

MPCA president Madhavrao Scindia is also arriving here tomorrow to chair the meeting of MPCA in this regard, the sources added.
