The England and Wales Cricket Board is sending a security consultant to India before deciding whether to take part in this month's scheduled two-test series following the deadly attacks in Mumbai.
The ECB has tentatively agreed for the team to return to India since the Indian Cricket Board switch the test venues from Ahmedabad and Mumbai in the west of the country to Chennai and Mohali.
England flew home last weekend after the last two games off their one-day series were called off because of the crisis in Mumbai.
