Kevin Pietersen could resume his England career during the tour of India after the England and Wales Cricket Board confirmed that Thursday's planned squad announcement had been put back until Tuesday at the earliest.
Pietersen remains in international exile following a series of flare-ups within the England set-up.
He's not in the England squad that will defend their World Twenty20 title in Sri Lanka from next week.
He appears to have been handed a lifeline for the 4-test tour of India in November after the ECB said selectors were not yet in a position to name a tour party.
