England [ Images ] batsman Eoin Morgan [ Images ] has been ruled out of the rest of the five-match One-day series against India [ Images ] after feeling 'acute pain' in a recurring shoulder injury.
"Eoin initially developed discomfort in his right shoulder during the Ashes tour (in Australia [ Images ]) in the winter and has been managing the injury until now," medical officer Nick Peirce said in an England and Wales Cricket Board statement.
"Unfortunately there has been an acute flare-up in his pain which has not responded to treatment. This is a chronic injury and predominantly effects 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."
Morgan's absence will be a blow for England as he was one of the in-form players during the recent Test series when the hosts humiliated India 4-0.
The Dublin-born left-hander captained England to victory in a One-dayer against his native Ireland last month and averages 40.45 from his 48 ODIs for England with three centuries.
England won the second match of the five-match ODI series by seven wickets on Tuesday, to take a 1-0 lead in the series. The first game was a no-result after bad weather also intervened in Durham.
