The master batsman, who was accompanied by his doctor wife Anjali, is expected to go under the surgeon's knife on Monday.

The operation, which will rule him out of action for at least two months, would be conducted by noted surgeon Dr Andrew Wallace.

Tendulkar was diagnosed with a posterior labrum tear of the right shoulder during the third cricket Test against England this week, subsequently ruling him out of the seven-match one-day series against Andrew Flintoff's men which begins on March 28.

Indian team's physiotherapist John Gloster said the ace batsman had been experiencing problems in throwing since the Test series against Sri Lanka last December.

The problem had aggravated of late, necessitating the surgery.
