Eoin Morgan will not be included in England’s tour of India after it was confirmed that the batsman would undergo surgery on his right shoulder.
The 24-year-old, who featured in his national side’s Test victory over India, will not be able to play competitively for 12 weeks after he recovers from the operation.
"After seeing a specialist today it has been confirmed that Eoin will require surgery to his right shoulder with the likelihood of repairing a chronic SLAP lesion,” said ECB chief medical officer Dr Nick Peirce.
"We have managed the injury to date with a conservative program but Eoin has now reached the stage where surgery is most appropriate progression of his treatment.
"Following the operation Eoin will undertake a rehabilitation programme ruling him out of all cricket for approximately 12 weeks. The recovery period is anticipated to see him return to full fitness ahead of England's tour of the UAE commencing in January."
Ireland-born Morgan is the only cricketer to score a hundred for both nations in a one-day international match.
