#4 England's tour of India 2008

The England team returned to play the two Tests in India following terror attacks in Mumbai in 2008, which had led them to cancel the last two ODIs

The visiting England team left for home mid-way through their tour of India in late 2008 after terrorists opened fire at Mumbai’s grand Taj hotel. With the series initially consisting of 7 ODIs and 2 Tests, England flew back having completed only the first five matches of the one-day series. They returned home with the remaining two ODIs cancelled, while both the 2 Tests were rescheduled – the first one was shifted from Ahmedabad to Chennai, while the other was given to Mohali in place of Mumbai.

Even the England Performance Squad based in Bangalore, comprising names like Michael Vaughan, Andrew Strauss and Monty Panesar, were immediately called back home. However, the Tests did go ahead peacefully at the new venues with India taking the series 1-0.
