Tendulkar ruled out of WI tour

H S Rao | March 28, 2006 21:26 IST

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."
