Uncertainty looms large over the T20I series-opening game between India and West Indies at the Wankhede Stadium on December 6 after Mumbai police on Wednesday refused to provide any security cover.

Mumbai police have refused to depute their force on the day that marks Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar's death anniversary where lakhs of his followers descend at Shivaji Park. The cops are taking extra precaution as December 6 is the 27th anniversary of the Babri Masjid demolition, the first after the Supreme Court's recent verdict on the disputed land.

"The Mumbai police officials have clearly told us that they cannot provide any security for the match. The MCA will meet the Commissioner of Police today and request to provide at least 20 per cent police security. The rest of the security measures will be put in place through private security agencies," an MCA official told mid-day after the issue was discussed in the Apex Council meeting.
