The Yorkshire star sustained the injury in the second Test, where he scored 94 not out but was unable to bowl in the latter stages of India's second innings because of the injury.

A scan has revealed an abdominal muscle tear, which is expected to sideline him for between two and four weeks.

That effectively rules him out of the remainder of the Test series, starting with next week's match at his home ground Headingley.

England remain hopeful White will recover in time to fly out with the rest of the squad to Colombo on September 12 for the ICC Champions' Trophy.
