ECB delay squad announcement for India tour

England have shelved plans to announce their squad for the Test tour of India today, as discussions over Kevin Pietersen's future continue

Team director Andy Flower had previously stated that he wanted the touring party finalised before flying to Sri Lanka for the World Twenty20 but, while selection discussions are at an advanced stage, the planned announcement has been delayed until at least Tuesday.

Reports yesterday indicated a call has already been made to go without Pietersen for the four-Test series, but Press Association Sport understands the door has not been closed just yet.
