The suspense over Delhi hosting the sixth and final one-dayer against Pakistan continued with the Board of Control for Cricket in India's Grounds and Pitches Committee chief Venkat Sundaram saying that there were still some "concerns" which needed to be addressed.

Sundaram, who inspected the Feroz Shah Kotla ground for close to three hours, did not say what were the "concerns" before the committee, but said they would discuss about it before submitting the report to BCCI shortly.

"We have made a number of observations. There are certain areas, which are of concern to us. Our team would discuss about it before talking to DDCA (Delhi and District Cricket Association) officials. Then we will submit our report to BCCI," Sundaram told reporters.

Sundaram praised DDCA for making a "stupendous" effort in making the ground ready for the match on April 17.

"I must congratulate DDCA for their stupendous effort to ensure that that the ground stages the match. It is no mean a task to make a modern stadium ready for the international match," he said.

Sundaram, who came to the stadium just after noon, made an inspection of the newly laid pitch and watched the proceedings of an under-21 match for some time.
