It is not clear for how long he will be sidelined - the team is due to leave for the ICC World Twenty20 on Sunday.

But Flintoff has seen the surgeon who performed the third and latest operation on his ankle at the start of the summer.

England officials are likely to reveal more details later.

With Flintoff out of the sixth one-dayer against India, Sussex's Luke Wright has been handed his debut while Dimitri Mascarenhas has been recalled.
