The Gulf state of Abu Dhabi has offered to host the postponed India-England cricket test series.

The England squad is in Abu Dhabi and is expected to make decision on whether to travel on and take part in the first test scheduled for a start in Chennai next Thursday.

England curtailed the recent one day series against India after the deadly terror attacks in Mumbai.

Abu Dhabi cricket club chief excutive Dilwar Mani says if India give the go ahead they are happy to host the tests.
