First Game of India's Caribbean Tour Postponed

On Wednesday India, who was eliminated in round two of Asian qualifying 5-2 by the UAE, was scheduled to play Barbados in an international friendly. However, due to changes in India's travel schedule caused by the London riots the game was canceled and not rescheduled.

Barbados, who is in group B for this round of CONCACAF qualifying, was the first of three opponents India had scheduled for its Caribbean tour. Barbados was planning to use this friendly as prep for its first two games of the round on Sept. 2nd and 6th. The remaining two games of India's tour, against two other group B members, Trinidad and Tobago and Guyana, will go on as planned on Aug. 21st and 24th.

Tomorrow the final CONCACAF group for round two, group F, will be previewed. Then the series of previews will turn to Asia, where the five groups of four teams begin play on Sept. 2nd.
