"Woakes suffered the injury on Sunday during England practice in Delhi and will now undertake a rehabilitation period that rules him out of the remaining three ODIs against India," the England and Wales Cricket Board said in a statement.

England trail the five-match series 2-0. The third match is in Mohali on Thursday.
