Mumbai: As Mumbai kept burning and the army tried rescuing hostages from the two five-star hotels in the southern suburb, the BCCI office, not very far from those areas inflicted by terror attacks, managed to pull a stunt of its own.
The BCCI, after day-long talks with the England Cricket Board (ECB), managed to convince the latter to allow the Test series beginning next month to continue as per schedule. The remaining two One-dayers of the seven-match series have been called off but the Test series will go on, the ECB said in a statement.
ECB confirms Test series will go on: The ECB on Thursday night confirmed that it has given assurances to the BCCI to return to India and play the two-match Test series starting on December 11.
The ECB in a statement said the English team, which is now in Bhubaneswar, will fly back home on Friday but will come back to play the Test series.
"The ECB have announced that England will fly back to London tomorrow in the wake of the terrorist attacks in Mumbai. But both the ECB and the BCCI have made assurances that the two Test matches will go ahead," the statement said.
