England [Images] will play two Test matches in India as scheduled next month despite militant attacks in Mumbai, Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) vice-president Lalit Modi [Images] said on Thursday.

Modi said the first Test would go ahead in Ahmedabad [Images] from December 11-15 but the second, scheduled for Mumbai from December 19-23, could be moved to a southern Indian city.
