Graeme Swann is out of the one-day series with Australia with a back injury but is expected to be fit for the start of the World Cup next month.
Swann will fly home from the Australia tour on Wednesday because of a lower back strain.
England, who trail 3-0 in the series, had already been forced to cope without Swann for two matches after the 31-year-old suffered a bruised kneecap.
“It’s frustrating but the priority for me now is the World Cup,” said Swann.
