"It's a pretty tough situation when you nearly bust your shoulder and you're told it was an external injury. It was always going to happen. He's so committed to this team. He was always going to fall on something. And now he's back off," said Jeetan Patel, England's spin coach.
Australian spinner Nathan Lyon has also been ruled out of the remainder of the Ashes series in England. He sustained a tear in his calf while fielding in England's first innings of the 2nd Test match.
