The second Test between India and England has been shifted from terror-hit Mumbai to the southern city of Chennai, the Indian cricket board said on Friday.

A statement from the board said the dates of next month's Test series will remain unchanged even as England prepared to fly home later on Friday after the last two matches of the one-day series were cancelled.

The first Test will be played as scheduled in the western city of Ahmedabad from December 11-15, while Chennai will host the second Test from December 19-23.

The Test series will be preceded by a three-day practice match in Vadodara from December 5-7, the statement from board secretary N. Srinivasan added.

It, however, did not say if England had accepted the itinerary.

England opted to fly home after coordinated militant attacks in Mumbai from Wednesday night left at least 130 dead.
