Yorkshire all-rounder Craig White has agreed to go on England's tour of India.

White, Marcus Trescothick and Ashley Giles all confirmed their availability for the tour after they were among five players who asked for more time to deliberate in the wake of the ongoing war on terrorism in neighbouring Afghanistan.

Said White: "I am undergoing a fitness test on November 7 and if passed fit I confirm I will travel to India."

But Somerset's Andrew Caddick and Glamorgan's Robert Croft have ruled themselves out of the trip to India. Replacements will be named for the duo later this week.

England squad: N Hussain (Essex, capt) age 33 tests 62, M E Trescothick 25 16, M A Butcher (Surrey) 29 32, G P Thorpe (Surrey) 32 69, M R Ramprakash 31 46, U Afzaal (Nottinghamshire) 24 3, M P Vaughan (Yorkshire) 26 11, W K Hegg (Lancashire, wkt) 33 2, J S Foster (Essex, wkt) 21 0, C White (Yorkshire) 31 21, A F Giles (Warwickshire) 28 8, R K J Dawson (Yorkshire) 21 0, J Ormond (Leicestershire) 24 1, M J Hoggard (Yorkshire) 24 2.
