Durham seamer Onions has taken his place in the Test squad
England will be without paceman Tim Bresnan for their forthcoming Test series against Pakistan because of injury, the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) long-established on Monday.
The 26-year-old paceman, who still has pain in the elbow which was operated on in November, had already miss England's opening three-day tour match next to an ICC joint XI which they won by three wickets in the UAE on Monday.
Bresnan took 16 wickets in the three Tests he played next to India at home last year - a series which lifted Captain Andrew Strauss's men to number one in the Test rankings. An ECB statement said Bresnan's right elbow had "flared up" during his new return to bowling following surgical treatment to remove a bone section in November.
"I'm clearly gutted not to have an opportunity to play in the Test series but I knew that looking at my treatment programmed it was always going to be handle and go to get me ready for the series," said Yorkshire all-rounder Bresnan.
"I want to wish the squad all very best and the main distress for me now is to get myself ready for the one-day series in February," added Bresnan, who in his 10 Tests has taken 41 wickets at 23.60 each.
Bresnan's place in the Test squad has gone to Durham seamer Graham Onions, previously in the UAE as bowling cover.
Onions, 29, played the last of his eight Tests next to South Africa in Cape Town two years ago.
England are due to play a Pakistan Cricket Board XI in a second warm-up match, also in Dubai, from January 11-13 before the first Test of a three-match series starts there on January 17.
