England's Futsal squad will not travel to Dubai after the DSF Tournament was cancelled by the UAE Government following the death of HH Sheikh Maktoum.

England coach Graham Dell had named a 14 man squad for the prestigious event, where The Three Lions were to play a series of friendlies ahead of a double-header with Finland next month.

However, the squad will remain the same for the two games with Finland, held at Bisham Abbey.

There are first time call-ups for Histon’s former Ipswich Town starlet Erkan Okay and Everton’s former England U16 goalkeeper Shaun Lake.

The continually improving and irrepressible Marc Canham (pictured), along with Glen Harris and AFC Wimbledon’s Rob Ursell, are included once more having successfully recovered from injury.

Salisbury City’s Alex Haddow, who impressed with two goals on his debut in Lithuania in November, is rewarded with another call-up as is John Atkinson, who despite being totally deaf has become well suited to this fast moving indoor game.

"It’s a slightly different squad from that which gave me such encouraging performances against Lithuania in November," said Dell.

England, are currently 66 in the World Futsal Rankings.
