England opt to return home after India attacks

LONDON: England opted on Thursday to return home from India after militant attacks in Mumbai killed at least 119 people but promised to return for two cricket tests next month.

The decision followed an announcement that the two remaining one-day internationals in a seven-match series would be cancelled. Officials said later the games could be rescheduled.

Tests are scheduled for Ahmedabad from Dec. 11-15 and Mumbai from Dec. 19-23.
