The England cricket team is due to fly home after the militant attacks in Mumbai.

England and Wales Cricket Board managing director Hugh Morris said: "The home environment is the place where we should be for a few days."

He said England planned to return for the two-test series next month.

England are due to play two Tests from December 11 with the second match scheduled in Mumbai from Dec. 19.

Earlier, Indian cricket board vice-president Lalit Modi said the test matches would definitely go ahead but the Mumbai match would be moved.

The team had already postponed its final one-day matches against India over fears for players' safety after the attacks which killed at least 104 people and injured hundreds more.
