Following the move to shift the England - India match from the famous Eden Gardens, the English players responded by saying they were disappointed about the change in the venue.
The ICC had announced on Thursday that Eden gardens would not be ready to host its first World Cup match on February 27 between England and the hosts, because of concerns over "cricket operations, media, broadcast and sponsorship facilities".
The new venue for the match is yet to be confirmed.
Quickie Stuart Broad tweeted his disappointment on Twitter writing: "Shame Eden Gardens not ready for the game, our game vs India there would have been special with 100,000-plus crowd".
Chris Tremlett said that the change in venue would hamper their World Cup situations while also sympathizing with the fans who would not get to see the game.
"Obviously it's not ideal," said Tremlett. "I think in a few big tournaments there seems to be things that are left to the last minute.
"I'm sure that they'll find ways around it, but it is a shame because I'm sure a lot of people have booked plane tickets and supporters have paid a lot of money to go out there.
"I hope they can sort it out and hopefully it won't affect the team as well.
"Hopefully they can sort that out."
Tremlett went on to add that he expected the English team to not be distracted a lot by the change.
"If you expected to be in certain places then possibly it could distract you in some way, but unexpected things happen. Look at the floods that have happened here - this game might not have happened," he added.
"As an international player, surprises come along and you just have to deal with it. There are certain distractions but it is just one of those things.
"Whatever is thrown at us we'll take it and wherever we play we'll be there."
