O England captain Michael Vaughan has been ruled out of the test series against India due to a knee injury.

The 31-year-old batsman sat out last week's tour match against an Indian Board President's XI in Baroda after having a pain-killing injection in his right knee in a bid to get fit for the opening test, which begins tomorrow.

England, chasing their first test series win in India for 21 years, are due to play three tests and seven one-dayers.
