Tom Curran will miss England's upcoming Twenty20 and one-day international fixtures against India due to a left side strain.
Curran was initially thought to be a doubt for just the opening T20, which takes place at Old Trafford on Tuesday, with batsman Dawid Malan called up as cover.

However, Surrey have now announced the seamer will not only sit out the entire three-match T20 series but also the trio of ODI games that follow later this month.
That opened the door to younger sibling Sam Curran, who will replace his injured brother in England's squad for the one-day series.
"Tom will now commence his rehabilitation programme at the Kia Oval under the supervision of Surrey and England's medical teams," a short statement read on Surrey's official website.
