England coach Peter Moores on Saturday admitted he is uncertain if star players Andrew Flintoff and Steve Harmison will return to India, cricket365.com reported on its web site.

A final decision on whether the tour will resume was to be made Sunday night after Hugh Morris, managing director England cricket, and Sean Morris, chief executive of the Professional Cricketers’ Association, return to Abu Dhabi with fresh security information.

Although Moores is hopeful that the full side will fly to Chennai today, if the green light is given, he concedes not everyone may commit and all players’ decisions should be respected.

England will already have to replace the injured Ryan Sidebottom in the 15-man party and have further deputies at hand due to the presence of 10 members of the performance squad.

"I’m fairly confident everybody will go if the security report is okay," said Moores. "But it is a difficult situation and everybody sees things differently. Individuals have different views.

"The worry is that if somebody makes their choice one way or the other they get marginalised for it.

"It won’t be held against anyone if they don’t go. Everybody will have opinions about those decisions, but we have to show respect.

"Players are in different places. There are players I’ve spoken to more than others. Some make a decision quite quickly. For others it takes a bit longer."

Moores admitted both Flintoff and Harmison have reservations over the potential trip.

He added: "Fred has had issues and it’s fair to say Steve Harmison has as well.

"The important message from me is that we respect people and allow them to have their views. That’s okay - they are human beings.
