Sachin Tendulkar [Images] was on Tuesday effectively ruled out of the forthcoming tour of the West Indies [Images] after he was declared unfit to play "up to two to three months" following a keyhole shoulder surgery in London [Images] on Monday.
Dr. Andrew Wallace, the orthopaedic surgeon who operated on the Indian batting star yesterday, said a date on when Tendulkar would be available for selection would depend on "regular review."

"Tendulkar's arm will be immobilised in a sling for up to six weeks and it is unlikely that he will be fit for selection for international cricket for up to two to three months depending on regular review," said Wallace of the Hospital of St John and St Elizabeth in London. India's tour of the Caribbean begins with the first one-dayer on May 18.
