Tendulkar was carrying the injury for quite a while but the problem
aggravated just before the opening match of the series at
Chester-le-Street on Saturday, eventually paving the way for Parthiv
Patel's last-minute inclusion to the playing eleven.
"Sachin Tendulkar has been ruled out of the ongoing ODI series
against England due to a toe injury. He has been advised rest for four
weeks. The All-India Senior Selection Committee has chosen S Badrinath
to replace him," BCCI secretary N Srinivasan said in a statement.
Badrinath, who made his ODI debut against Sri Lanka in 2008, has scored 79 runs in seven one-dayers so far.
The Tamil Nadu batsman was also in the squad for India's tour of West Indies earlier this year, but failed to impress.
It has been a disastrous tour for India as many leading players,
including Tendulkar, Gautam Gambhir, Virender Sehwag, Zaheer Khan,
Ishant Sharma and Yuvraj Singh suffered injuries at various stages.
