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.

Hugh Morris, England and Wales Cricket Board performance director, said: "We want to get back to a home environment.

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

The England squad are currently in Bhubaneswar, which is 850 miles from Mumbai, but they stayed at the Taj Mahal Palace Hotel in Mumbai a fortnight ago and were due to return there on 16 December.
