England offered revised tour schedule by Indian authorities. But should they go back?

Indian cricket bosses claim the ECB has provisionally agreed to the Ahmedabad and Mumbai Tests switching location, to Chennai and Mohali, the first Test starting on December 11. A scheduled three-day warm-up match has also been scrapped.

It’s clear that the Indian authorities are desperate for England to return, but for obvious reasons, the English players are not so keen. The Daily Telegraph reports that Andrew Flintoff and Steve Harmison (surprise surprise; when it comes to pulling out of tours, homeboy Harmison has previous) have refused to return to India, “citing their children and wives as their prime consideration”.

Both Flintoff and Harmison have young families, but it’s worth pointing out that less than a month after the July 7 London bombings, in 2005, the Ashes went ahead in London. However, this situation is different in one crucial respect: Westerners are being specifically targeted this time.
