The One

Even after the last two matches of the one-day series was cancelled due to security reasons after the Mumbai attacks which shocked the whole India, the England’s team for the Test series here in India have arrived yesterday here. It had come into notice at the time that the terrorists mainly aimed to kill more foreigners to lessen support and visitors from foreign countries to our country. But, all their hopes went up in vain as the whole world stood right behind India.

At first, there was a slight tension whether the foreign countries will blame India for the killing of their citizen. Some did actually blame India, while most of them stood right together with India in that sour hour of need. It is really appreciable that the England team came back, even with some small security threats still remaining. The group that came from England to inspect the security conditions in India was fully satisfied with India’s performance, in keeping up with security issues.

Tight security has been arranged for the Englishmen. Immediately on arrival, the team was taken out of the airport from a separate gate and driven straight to the hotel where foolproof security cover has been provided.

Earlier, during the ODI series, the English team was actually planning to migrate to the Taj, which was the hotel where usually other teams that come to tour India used to stay. But, luckily due to some technical reasons, they changed their idea of going to the Taj.

The English players were training all these time in Abu Dhabi due to security clearance reasons. The players were given a detailed idea of the security arrangements that would be put forward during the test series. The players were ensured that it would be safe, and that there was no need of worry over anything.

So, this test series is going to be crucial, because this is the one of the best events through which normality can be restored into lives of the people in India.
