He has not been ruled out of the entire tour but is going to miss the first Test and is returning home.
He'll miss the test and fly to the United Kingdom tomorrow to see a specialist. His availability for the remainder of the tour will be reassessed.
We are hoping he will play the first test. We'll assess the situation at the end of the tour match.
We wouldn't comment on any application for roles at the ECB. Interviews will be taking place shortly and we would hope to be in a position to make an announcement during England's tour in India.
