Rovers to carry out pre-season tour mid-season

Blackburn have postponed their pre-season friendly in India after last week's terrorist bombings in Mumbai.

Rovers, owned by Indian poultry firm Venky's, were due to appear in Pune and become the first Premier League team to play in India, but will now reschedule.

"The trip is not cancelled, it is postponed to another date because of the activity out there," said Blackburn manager Steve Kean.

"That trip will now take place at the beginning of October."
