Ahmedabad: England off-spinner Graeme Swann left for home Wednesday ahead of their final tour match against Haryana to be by the side of his sick daughter but will return back in time for the first Test beginning here on November 15. "Graeme Swann has returned home to support his family and spend time with his daughter who is currently unwell. Swann will return to India ahead of the first Test in Ahmedabad, commencing November 15," the ECB said in a statement.

"This is a personal matter and we would ask for everyone to give Graeme and his family privacy. We will not be making any further comment at this time," statement read. Swann's daughter Charlotte is barely three-week-old. England play their final tour match, a three-day game, against Haryana starting here from tomorrow.
