With the recent terror attacks in Mumbai on 26th November 2008, the current England tour was disturbed. The team went back to England cancelling the remaining two ODIs. In the seven match series, England lost the first 5 ODIs and were supposed to play the last two ODIs in Guwathi and Delhi.
The terror attack in varous places of Mumbai completely shaken the England team and made them go back to England. CST, Taj Mahal Hotel, Trident-Oberoi Hotel, and Nariman House were attacked on November 26th which lasted till November 28, 2008.
English media reported that with these kinds of terror attacks in India, and in fact in Pakistan as well, the sub-continent may lose the chance of hosting the 2011 world cup. With already Australia declining to visit Pakistan and England returning home, if in the next years, if India is attacked, there is a chance that the world cup may be hosted by another country.
Let us see what BCCI has to say about it! I expect them to ignore this threat!
