The BCCI is yet to decide on moving the fifth and final Test between India and England from December 16 out of Chennai following the death of Tamil Nadu chief minister J Jayalalithaa on Monday. Ajay Shirke, the secretary, said the board was seeking inputs from the host association - the Tamil Nadu Cricket Association (TNCA) - and monitoring the situation closely. He also said no deadline had been set for naming an alternate venue since it was an evolving situation.We havent taken any decision with regard to the Chennai Test match, Shirke told reporters after the meeting of the senior tournament committee in Mumbai. Its a very sensitive decision. We are keeping a close watch on the situation and we are taking the inputs from the local host association as to what is the mood and the sentiment of the people, and based on what evolves, the final decision for the match will be taken.TNCA secretary Kasi Viswanathan, however, wrote to the board that Chennai was ready to host the Test. We have communicated to the BCCI this morning that we wont be able to host the ongoing Ranji Trophy game [between Odisha and Jharkhand in Natham near Dindigul] and under-19 match because of state mourning for seven days and closure of schools and colleges for three days, he told ESPNcricinfo. But, we will host the Test match because after December 12 the [week-long] mourning period is over.We are monitoring the situation almost on an hourly or a daily basis, he said. The BCCI has got a number of alternate venues; in fact, there are new venues which have been added so there is no paucity of venues for hosting a Test match. Again, that should not be read as a decision [of the game] having been shifted.The MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai last hosted a Test match three years ago against Australia, while its most recent international game came last year in an ODI against South Africa. During Englands tour of India in 2008, Chennai emerged as one the two alternate venues after the terror attacks in Mumbai forced the Test matches to be moved out of Mumbai and Ahmedabad.

NEW YORK -- Mets right-hander Matt Harvey intends to undergo season-ending surgery to address thoracic outlet syndrome, with the expectation that he will be fully ready for the 2017 season, agent Scott Boras told ESPN.Dr. Robert Thompson is expected to perform the procedure sometime in the next week in St. Louis.[Manager] Terry [Collins] and I met with Matt today and although we all feel badly for him, we expressed our support in this decision and know he will work as hard as possible to get back on the field for the 2017 season, Mets GM Sandy Alderson said?in a statement.Harveys issue involves muscles in the neck and shoulder impinging a nerve in his right shoulder. Thompson will remove one of Harveys ribs to provide space, which should reduce the compression on the affected nerve and restore feeling in his pitching arm and fingers.Boras said that a nerve-blocking injection, which could work as a short-term fix, would not have been an appropriate remedy.The doctors clearly recommended that he have this done, mainly so that he can be ready for 17, Boras said. The rehab on this is six months. Now, if there was a small window of a season, you might be able to take a shot. Its actually Botox, which relaxes the muscles. Thats not a long-term solution.The only way this is going to be treated appropriately -- and obviously we dont want to do anything to affect next year -- is to get this surgically taken care of.The Mets pitcher also tweeted the he expects to be out of touch [and] stick to the business of getting healthy.Boras said the issue explains why Harvey had produced underwhelming numbers this season. Harvey is 4-10 with a 4.86 ERA in 17 starts.He just didnt feel he had the command and feeling, Boras said. He just didnt really feel he was himself mechanically. He couldnt stay behind the ball. He felt strong body-wise, but just something was there. Finally, when this thing got a little more pronounced, we said, Lets take a look at this potential option, and got him to Dr. Thompson. Sure enough, he strongly tested positive for TOS.Hes felt this way since spring training, but he wanted to gut it out, try to do it, until finally hes going, Look, Im just feeling likke I dont feel the baseball the same.ddddddddddddOnce we heard that, I was like, Maybe we have a TOS situation, and got him over to Dr. Thompson.Alderson noted Thursday that any surgery involves risk and there is a chance Harvey will not regain his All-Star form. Still, Boras expressed confidence that the Dark Knight will rise again.I remember Kenny Rogers had it done, Boras said. A good example is the Cardinals [Jaime] Garcia had it done recently. So weve had very good results because basically the pitchers can feel their fingertips and the baseball, so they can get their command back. At the extension, at the release point, you have the feeling back that you didnt have before. So it really affects where the ball is located.Boras had not been thrilled last season when the Mets had Harvey throw 216 innings, including the postseason. That was the most innings ever by an MLB pitcher in his first season back from Tommy John surgery.However, Boras said there is no conclusive link between that workload and the TOS issue.When youre talking about a nerve impingement, muscularity, that kind of thing, Im not sure you can draw conclusions one way or the other, Boras said. I cant draw any conclusions other than we were fine in 15 and felt this in 16.Right-hander Logan Verrett is poised to take Harveys start Saturday against the Washington Nationals. Collins said he expected Verrett would open in the rotation for the second half of the season as well.Alderson indicated Thursday, before Harvey had officially resolved to have surgery, that the Mets would at least investigate external starting-pitching options. The teams pursuit of that route will probably intensify now that its clear Harvey will miss the remainder of the season.Zack Wheeler has experienced a pair of setbacks this season as he works back from Tommy John surgery. Wheeler has not yet resumed throwing off the top of the mound since receiving a cortisone injection in June to address nerve irritation in the elbow. He would not be ready to join the Mets until late August at the earliest. ' ' '
