Southampton, Sept 6: England middle-order batsman Eoin Morgan will miss the remainder of the ODI series against India due to injury according to the England and Wales Cricket Board website.
“Eoin Morgan was today ruled out of the remainder of the NatWest Series due to an ongoing right shoulder injury,” the website says in its media release.
“Morgan first suffered the injury during England's Ashes tour of Australia earlier this year, with the injury flaring up after the recent NatWest International Twenty20 fixture against India at Old Trafford,” the official ECB website explained.
“Eoin initially developed discomfort in his right shoulder during the Ashes tour in the winter and has been managing the injury until now with a conservative programme,” England chief medical officer Dr Nick Peirce was quoted as saying.
“Unfortunately, there has been an acute flare in his pain which has not responded to treatment. This is a chronic injury and predominantly affects Eoin’s diving and throwing. He now requires a progression in his treatment and will undertake further specialist assessment in the next week before a decision on his forthcoming treatment will be determined,” he added.
