England will return home following the terror attacks in Mumbai but their Test series against India will go ahead.

The first Test is set to start on 11 December in Ahmedabad and the second, scheduled for Mumbai from 19 December, will take place at an alternate venue.

"It will be good for all the players. They were only in one of the hotels attacked a few weeks ago."

Owais Shah's 72 could not prevent England from suffering a 19-run, rain-affected defeat by India, who took an unassailable 4-0 lead in the series.

England were embarrassed in the finale of the Stanford Super Series as the Superstars team won by 10 wickets to pocket the $20m (£12.4m) prize fund.
