Mohali will stage the second Test between India and England, the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) said in a statement on their website here Wednesday.
ECB security advisor Reg Dickason has approved the venue following an inspection and the Test there will begin as scheduled on December 19.
The first match of the two-Test series is due to get under way in Chennai on Thursday.
The Tests were put in jeopardy when England abandoned the seven-match one-day series and returned home last month following the terror attacks in Mumbai that left 172 dead and almost 300 injured.
But following a change of Test venues -- Ahmedabad was due to host the first Test and Mumbai the second -- the ECB made it clear it wanted to continue with the series and England's players finally decided to return to India on Sunday.
