The England cricket team, which left India after cutting short the one-day series in the wake of Mumbai terror attacks, has expressed their readiness to return India for the Test series after a through security assessment.
ECB managing director Hugh Morris, speaking at a press conference at Heathrow Airport Saturday, said: "We are committed to going back, to playing in the Test series assuming it is safe to do so."
However, the board will not force individual players to return to India to play in the two Tests starting on December 11 in Ahmedabad, he added.
"We have to give them the most up-to-date security information and then clearly it will be a decision for the players to make,” Morris said.
Incidentally, one of the main targets of the terror attack was the Taj Mahal Palace hotel, where England team stayed at the start of their tour and were due to return for the second Test in Mumbai.
Morris, who offered his condolences to all those affected in the attacks, admitted the players were concerned about the current situation.
