Full-strength England

England will fly to Abu Dhabi on Thursday to resume their tour of India. A full-strength squad will train in the Middle East before heading to Chennai for the first Test on December 11.

As nine members of the England Performance programme join them, there is still an element of doubt whether all the players will be in India for the Test series.

One thing is certain, the ECB is serious about the tour and now everything depends on Reg Dickason's report.

Meanwhile, to add to the uncertainty, the Deccan Mujahideen issued an e-mail threat specifying Delhi, Bangalore and Chennai airports as targets. This new threat is sure to muddy the waters further.
