Sachin Tendulkar ruled out of ODI series with toe injury

Sachin Tendulkar has been ruled out of the remainder of India's tour of England, and is set to miss Mumbai Indians' Champions League campaign as well, after a visit to a specialist in London confirmed that he will require four weeks' of rest to recover from an inflamed big toe in his right foot.

The injury, which was caused by the aggravation of a former fracture, flared up on the eve of the first ODI at Chester-le-Street, and means that Tendulkar's quest for that elusive 100th international hundred, which has been hanging over him all tour, will not now be resumed until England's tour of India in October, at the earliest.The BCCI have decided that no replacement will be required at this late stage of the tour, seeing as Manoj Tiwari joined the squad earlier this week after Rohit Sharma broke his finger in the Chester-le-Street ODI.
