England got a big shock, Mark Wood will not play cricket this year, you will be shocked to know the reason
Mark Wood (Image Credit- Twitter X) England’s fastest bowler Mark Wood has been ruled out for the rest of 2024 due to a bone injury in his right elbow. He will not be able to be a part of the upcoming Test series against Pakistan and New Zealand. Against Sri Lanka Wood was ruled out of the ongoing Sri Lanka series as a precaution after suffering a right thigh strain while bowling during the first Test at Old Trafford. Wood suffered a right thigh injury in the first Test against Sri Lanka. He had to be ruled out of the Sri Lanka series due to thigh trouble. After this, the bowler felt discomfort in the elbow joint. When Wood underwent a routine elbow scan, he learned that it would take several months to fully recover. However, it will not be easy for England to fill Wood’s place. The 37-year-old pacer has played 37 Tests, 55 ODIs and 34 T20 Internationals for England, taking 119, 77 and 77 wickets respectively. The England Cricket Board said in a statement that Wood felt increasing stiffness and discomfort in his elbow during the Test series against the West Indies in early summer. Wood is expected to return early next year. Meanwhile, Wood has also reacted to being out of the England team for a long time. He wrote on Instagram that there is very bad news. During a routine examination of an already troublesome elbow, I was shocked to learn that I have a bone stress in my right elbow. After a minor groin injury at Old Trafford (first Test), I and the medical team felt it was the right time to get my elbow examined as it was causing some trouble. He further said, I will not be able to play for the rest of this year as I need time to rest and prepare myself. I sincerely hope that I will be able to make a comeback in early 2025 and perform well. I will work hard behind the scenes. I am very proud to represent my country and there can be no better feeling than this.

Sri Lankans should be careful, after Root and Atkinson, now Ollie Pope is fully prepared to make a mark with his bat in the Oval Test
The final match of the three-match Test series between England and Sri Lanka is starting from September 6 at the Kennington Oval. Ollie Pope (Photo Source: X/Twitter) England defeated Sri Lanka by 190 runs in the second Test match played at Lord’s Stadium in London and took a 2-0 lead in the three-match Test series. So far, the performance of all the England players has been very good in this series. However, England’s stand-in captain Ollie Pope has so far failed to make a mark in this series. Let us tell you, Ollie Pope has scored 6 runs, 6 runs, 1 run and 17 runs in the Test series being played against Sri Lanka so far. Ollie Pope’s captaincy may have been excellent in this Test series, but the pressure of it has been seen on him in batting. However, Ollie Pope believes that he will definitely look to score big in the third Test between these two teams starting on September 6. Ollie Pope said, ‘I would not like to hide anything about the fact that both my matches with the bat have been very bad. However, cricket is like this. Sometimes the form is in your favor and sometimes you are going through a bad time. But good players are those who forget it and make a fresh start from the next week. I hope that I will be able to score big in the upcoming match. I have learned a lot in the last two matches and I will try to improve my game even more. Especially at the beginning of my innings. Whatever opportunities I get, I will use them in a great way. Ben Stokes told me a lot about criticism before the series: Ollie Pope Pope further said, ‘I am not at all surprised that people are criticizing me. Ben Stokes told me this before the series that you are the captain and you will have to face a lot of criticism. There are many voices that you hear and people say a lot of wrong things about you. However, I do not care about all these things at all. For me, I would like to spend as much time as possible with people who believe in me and recognise my ability. When I went to the West Indies and scored runs in that series, people were still saying things about me. I really don’t care about anyone.’ The final match of the three-match Test series between England and Sri Lanka is starting from September 6 at the Kennington Oval.

Wasim Jaffer made fun of England team, made a funny comment on Michael Vaughan’s tweet!
There was a funny debate between Sim Jaffer and Michael Vaughan on social media. Jaffer took a dig at the WTC rankings by giving a funny reply to Vaughan’s tweet. Wasim Jaffer & Michael Vaughan. (Photo Source: Instagram/Getty Images) Wasim Jaffer and Michael Vaughan Social Media Banter: The ongoing debate on social media between former Indian batsman Wasim Jaffer and former England captain Michael Vaughan has taken a new and interesting turn. It all started when Michael Vaughan posted a tweet demanding the creation of two divisions in Test cricket and equal distribution of wealth among Test playing nations. Wasim Jaffer responded to this tweet of Michael Vaughan in his funny style. He made a funny comment drawing attention to England being at the bottom of the points table of WTC 2024-25. Jaffer wrote- “Timing is everything. And Michael is a smart guy who understands that. That’s why he didn’t tweet this a month ago when the WTC table looked like this (England were bottom then).” Timing is everything. And Michael is a wise man who understands that. That’s why he didn’t tweet this a month ago when WTC table looked like this 😉 #WTC25 #ENGvSL pic.twitter.com/tfzmQbYGwn — Wasim Jaffer (@WasimJaffer14) September 3, 2024 The England team toured India earlier this year, where their performance was disappointing. The England team led by Ben Stokes was defeated 1-4 by the Indian team led by Rohit Sharma. After this defeat, the England team slipped very low in the WTC points table. However, England won two Test matches each against West Indies and Sri Lanka at home, which improved the team’s position in the points table to some extent. Now the England team is preparing for the final Test match against Sri Lanka, which will be played at the Oval in London from September 6. Meanwhile, India is also preparing for the two-Test series against Bangladesh, which will be played in Chennai and Kanpur respectively. The series will start from September 19 and the Indian team is committed to perform well in it.
