ENGLAND assistant coach Graham Dilley is expected to rejoin the touring party in Hyderabad within the next 24 hours following his illness scare.

Dilley, 42, the former Worcestershire fast bowler, was taken to a Mumbai hospital last night suffering from the effects of the sun.

He did not travel with the England entourage to Hyderabad today but has since contacted team officials to say that he is feeling better.

He is due to join up with the touring party tomorrow, the day before the penultimate warm-up game against a Board President's XI.
