India have withdrawn from their tour to New Zealand, scheduled for February 2007, with the mutual agreement of both parties. Ehsan Mani, the ICC president, confirmed to the New Zealand Herald that the tour would not go ahead as planned. Looking at the future schedule of both the teams it seems that the tour may not take place till November 2008. The cancellation of the tour looked on the cards since the ICC had decided to bring the World cup forward by one month. Earlier this week it announced a plan to play Australia every year from 2007 to 2009 and said it wanted a four-year cycle of matches against England, even though these fall outside the Future Tours Programme.
