Chennai:

England fast bowler Ajmal Shahzad has been ruled out of the remainder of the World Cup with a recurrence of a left hamstring injury, a team spokesman said.

Shahzad may only miss one match with England needing to beat the West Indies at the Chidambaram Stadium on Thursday to have any chance of qualifying for the quarter-finals

Even victory may not be enough if other results don't go their way.

An England statement said Shahzad "will return to the UK for further assessment and added a possible replacement for the 25-year-old Yorkshire seamer will be "considered according to England's progress."

Shahzad originally suffered the injury during the England tour of Australia that preceded the World Cup.
