England fast bowler Steven Finn could be a doubtful starter for the first Test against India after a thigh strain ruled him out for the rest of the continuing tour opener on Wednesday.
Finn, 23, who was regarded as a certainty for the first Test in Ahmedabad from November 15, pulled up with a thigh strain on the opening day of the three-day game against India 'A' in Mumbai on Tuesday.
The beanpole Middlesex paceman bowled four overs before being injured while chasing a ball in the outfield and was confined to the dressing room for the rest of the day.
Scans later on Tuesday did not reveal any major damage but Finn was asked to sit out for the rest of the match to undertake a recovery programme set out by team doctors.
"Steven Finn has been ruled out of the remainder of the three-day game with a right thigh strain," team spokeswoman Rhian Evans said.
"He will be assessed over the next couple of days to determine a rehabilitation programme."
England are not calling in a replacement, but Finn may be required to play at least one of the two remaining warm-up matches to be considered for the Ahmedabad Test.
The tourists take on Mumbai 'A' in a three-day game from Saturday and play state side Haryana in a four-day match in Ahmedabad from November 8.
Finn has played 16 Tests since his debut against Bangladesh in 2010, claiming 66 wickets at an average of 28.15. He has taken five wickets in an innings three times.

Real estate tokenisation project
Dubai launched the pilot phase of its real estate tokenisation project last month.
The initiative focuses on converting real estate assets into digital tokens recorded on blockchain technology and helps in streamlining the process of buying, selling and investing, the Dubai Land Department said.
Dubai’s real estate tokenisation market is projected to reach Dh60 billion ($16.33 billion) by 2033, representing 7 per cent of the emirate’s total property transactions, according to the DLD.

Mia Man’s tips for fermentation
- Start with a simple recipe such as yogurt or sauerkraut
- Keep your hands and kitchen tools clean. Sanitize knives, cutting boards, tongs and storage jars with boiling water before you start.
- Mold is bad: the colour pink is a sign of mold. If yogurt turns pink as it ferments, you need to discard it and start again. For kraut, if you remove the top leaves and see any sign of mold, you should discard the batch.
- Always use clean, closed, airtight lids and containers such as mason jars when fermenting yogurt and kraut. Keep the lid closed to prevent insects and contaminants from getting in.
