Indian-owned Premier League club Blackburn on Tuesday called off a preseason trip to the country after last week's terror attack in Mumbai.
Blackburn, owned by poultry firm Venky's, was due to fly to the subcontinent on Wednesday ahead of a friendly on Friday in Pune, which is 150 kilometers (93 miles) from Mumbai.
But those plans have been abandoned after the triple bombing in India's financial hub last Wednesday killed 20 people.
''Safety is always our top priority and after detailed discussions with our security and legal advisers we have been left with no option other than to postpone,'' Blackburn said in a statement. ''While everyone is obviously disappointed, we all accept the circumstances and the reasoning. We are now looking forward to the trip to India in a few weeks time.''
