Mumbai Terror Attack: BCCI - ECB discuss future of tour

Cuttack: Officials of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) and the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) are currently locked in a meeting, discussing the future of the ongoing England cricket team's tour of India, after terrorists struck at several places in Mumbai on Wednesday night and on Thursday morning, and killed over 100 people and injured several others.

BCCI Secretary N Srinivasan, England captain Kevin Pietersen and England team manager Reg Dickason are currently locked up in a meeting at the team hotel in Cuttack, discussing the future of the tour.

England are in India for a seven-match one-day series, which will be followed by two-Test matches starting December 11. Incidentally, the second of the two Tests was scheduled to be played at the Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai, barely a few metres from the Taj Mahal Hotel and the Oberoi Hotel which were attacked on Wednesday.

England have so far played five one-day internationas, and are due to play two more matces - one at Guwahati and the other at New Delhi.
