England all-rounder Tom Curran has been ruled out of the limited-overs series against India due to a left side strain.
He will be replaced by his younger brother for Sam in the limited-overs series while Dawid Malan has been added in the three-match T20 series that begins on Tuesday.
The elder of the Curran brothers was expected to be fit after Tuesday's opening T20 International at Old Trafford but having ascertained the severity of the injury, he will now miss the rest of the white-ball summer.
The 23-year-old has returned to The Oval where his rehabilitation will be supervised by both the Surrey and England medical teams.

The young quick joins Chris Woakes and Ben Stokes on the sidelines, though Stokes is expected to play for Durham as a specialist batsman on Thursday.
If he comes through that unscathed, he will join the England squad with a view to being considered for selection for the final T20I against India on Sunday.
