A decision maybe taken by Thursday afternoon.England are scheduled to play a Test in Mumbai beginning on December 13. Andrew Walpole, the team's media relations manager, would not be drawn into any speculation about the team returning home immediately."We are speaking to Mr Srinivasan and we will wait before any decision is taken," Walpole said. "Let's wait for the meeting to end." Walpole refused to comment on television news reports that England have refused to go Guwahati for the sixth one-dayer on November 29. Guwahati was also a victim of terror attacks last month when more than 60 people were killed by blasts in the city. The seventh and final ODI is in Delhi next week.BCCI officials said it was too early to comment on the situation, but one was quoted by The Guardian as saying: "This has been a terrible day for India but at the moment it's far too early to talk about cancelling England's tour or the Champions League."Meanwhile, England's High Performance squad, which is currently training in Bangalore, is waiting for guidance from the British government on the future of its tour. The squad, which includes Michael Vaughan, Monty Panesar and Andrew Strauss, is scheduled to reach Mumbai on December 3 to play a practice game and train with the England Test squad. When asked about the squad's tour status, an ECB spokesperson said, "We are and continue to be guided by the British foreign office and await further guidance."</blockquote>
