England's spin stocks have taken a blow, with a World Cup-winning member of the bowling attack ruled out for the season with injury
Another England injury as Rashid is ruled out
The setback ends ends the Ashes dreams of Rashid, who was an outside chance to add to his 19 Test caps and play against Australia if successful for county Yorkshire.
His last Test appearance came in the West Indies in January, however the 31-year-old had since slipped behind Jack Leach and Moeen Ali in the England spin-bowling pecking order. Leach was selected at the expense of Ali on England's squad for the second Ashes Test at Lord's on Friday.
Right arm leg-spinner Rashid said he now hopes to be fit for the winter tours of New Zealand and South Africa.
"The aim was to come back after the World Cup and play for Yorkshire," he told Yorkshireccc.com.
"I enjoy playing for Yorkshire, but it just wasn't meant to be."
Rashid, who quit red-ball cricket last year before being recalled to the England Test team against India, insisted he was unable to play for his county side.
"When I can play, I'll play," he said, having struggled with the shoulder issue throughout England's successful World Cup campaign.
"I just wasn't anywhere near fit enough to play. People may have other views, but I just can't play. Any other talk is nonsense.
"My main aim is to get my shoulder fit, strong and powerful ahead of the winter.
"I'll be in the gym, keeping fit and rehabbing my shoulder. Hopefully, once I get through that period I can just continue playing cricket."
