Good. We need the police to protect our people, not get engaged in some silly game or providing VIP cover to some visiting cricketers.

England cancels India tour; CL T20 in doubt New Delhi: The terror attacks in Mumbai have expectedly had an impact on the ongoing English tour to India as well as the T-20 Champions League that is scheduled to begin next week. For now the three matches of the Champions League that were meant to be played in Mumbai have been shifted to Bangalore, but whether the tournament will go ahead is shrouded in doubt. The English twenty20 champions Middlesex, Australian teams The Victorian Bush Rangers and the Western Warriors as well as the two South African teams Nashua Titans and Dolphins were meant to arrive in Mumbai on Thursday. They have already delayed their plans by at least 24 hours as they wait for the situation to get clearer. The English cricket team which was meant to travel to Guwahati on Thursday for the sixth ODI is at the moment staying put in Cuttack. CNN-IBN has been informed that the players are reluctant to continue the tour and have ruled out the possibility to play the second Test in Mumbai on Novermeber 19 as per schedule. "We are and will be continued to be guided by our foreign office. And at the moment we are in discussion with the foreign office," said the ECB officials. The England performance excellence team that is in Bangalore and has players like Monty Panesar, Andrew Strauss and Michael Vaughan will for now continue to stay in Bangalore. BCCI sources say they are monitoring the situation closely and no decision will be made in haste. Some of these teams were infact meant to be staying at the two hotels in Mumbai where the attacks have taken place.
