TWO of the five Indian cricketers who disappeared after a Colwall cricket match have returned to their London base, safe and well.

Rajwant Kaur, aged 24 and Parvesh Rani, 25, were part of a 16-woman squad who were competing in an international women's tournament in Colwall.

The pair returned to the house in Hounslow, west London, where they had been based during the tournament, on Monday and were later interviewed by Police.

A spokesman for the Metropolitan Police said: "We are still appealing for information about the remaining three missing women."

The five women went missing from their London bases on August 12, after just two days of the six-day tournament.

Speculation was mounting that the squad, from Jalandhar, in north west India, had used the cricket tournament as a ploy to obtain visas to enter the country.
