The England cricket team is currently touring India. The tour was originally scheduled to take place from 9 November 2008 to 23 December 2008, including two Test matches and 7 One Day Internationals (ODIs).
Following the series of attacks in Mumbai on 26 November, the final two ODIs against India were cancelled, India taking the series 5-0. [1].
As a result of the Mumbai Attacks the Test matches were moved from Ahmedabad and Mumbai to Chennai and Mohali. England flew home initially but are currently attending a training camp in Abu Dhabi. The series remains in doubt.
ODI Series
India won the series 5–0. The last two scheduled ODIs were cancelled, following the attacks in Mumbai. The player of the series was Yuvraj Singh, who hit two centuries, on his way to 325 runs at an average of xx.xx.[citation needed] India secured large winning margins in the first three matches, and the last. The fourth and closest match included a controversial application of the Duckworth-Lewis method, prompting the England camp to suggest a rethink of its methodologies.
