England reluctant to return for Test series

LONDON: Even as English cricket board assured that side would return for two-Test series in India next month, players are still apprehensive of touring the country in aftermath of Mumbai terror attacks.
Skipper Kevin Pietersen said their return to India would depend on security situation.
‘We need to make sure security's right - but if it's not safe then we won't be coming back.’
‘I'll never force anyone to do anything against their will. On field, I may ask people to do things in certain way but they have their own lives. We'll have to see how security is,’ he added.
The team is backed by Professional Cricketers' Association (PCA) who said decision would be based on reports from players' security advisors.
‘They will look at it in cold light of day and ask, is it safe to return or not? They will go with that advice assuming situation in India does not deteriorate further. Players have full faith in Reg Dickason (England team security officer) and will be guided by him,’ Morris was quoted as saying by The Daily Telegraph.
England & Wales Cricket Board's (ECB) managing director Hugh Morris assured that Test series is on. ‘It's very, very real and emotions are very high. It's a sensitive time. Home environment is where players should be for a few days. Test matches are in place and, unless we get security advice to the contrary, they will be going ahead,’ Morris said.
