Stuart Broad hopes to make his England come back in the Twenty20 clash with India at the end of October.
The Nottinghamshire all-rounder is England's T20 captain but miss the new double-header beside the West Indies at the Oval because of the take on injury he suffer in the fourth one-day international next to India at Lord's on September 11.
A predict two-month nonattendance would see him miss the October 29 Eden Gardens showdown, but he is hopeful of recurring to reclaim the captaincy from county colleague Graeme Swann.
"It's leaving okay," Broad told Sky Sports News of his recovery.
"The muscle's torn so it takes time to heal. I've got another week's rest then its treatment in October.
"It's a strong treatment programmed and I'm looking forward to getting under way.
"I've got it in mind that I want to play that Twenty 20 game in India. It's a tight goal but you've got to have those targets to get you throughout the mornings in the gym.
"It's two-month damage but it's a right shoulder injury so I've got to be careful; that's my career."
Broad has led England in just two matches, last month's six-wicket win over India and June's nine-wicket beating at the hands of Sri Lanka.
Chances to add to his leadership knowledge will be incomplete in front of next year's World Twenty20 in Sri Lanka, and he is desperate to seize every chance.
"It's unsatisfactory, missing these two games was unsatisfactory," he added.
"We've got a Twenty20 World Cup this time next year and it's main to learn and build going into that."
Broad, who also suffer a stomach muscle tear during last winter's Ashes, recognized how packed the international calendar is but refuse to blame for his injury troubles.
"Its part of professional sport, you're going to choose up injuries," he said.
"We do play a huge amount; it takes a toll on your body and when you get time to recover you have to use it wisely.
"The boys have got November and December as downtime, that's pretty unusual in the international schedule, then once we fly to Dubai in January (to face Pakistan) it's attractive much non-stop for two years."
