The vibes had been ominous for Morgan's chances of travelling to the sub-Continent from the moment England first revealed, just three days ago, that he had been suffering with the SLAP lesion problem in his right shoulder for several months.

The key middle-order batsman had to sit out Tuesday's NatWest Series victory over India at the Rose Bowl and, after consulting a specialist, discovered today he will have surgery next week.

An England and Wales Cricket Board statement read: "Eoin Morgan will undergo surgery for a right shoulder injury, ruling him out of England's forthcoming one-day international tour of India commencing in October.

"Morgan today saw a specialist and will undergo shoulder surgery in the next week, which will rule him out of all cricket for the next 12 weeks."

ECB chief medical officer Nick Peirce explained it is still hoped Morgan will be fit again in time for England's new year trip to the United Arab Emirates to play Pakistan in three Tests, four one-day internationals and three Twenty20s.

He said: "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. "We have managed the injury to date with a conservative programme, but Eoin has now reached the stage where surgery is the 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."
