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.

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.

But there is no better feeling than winning a Test match. So the more it can impact games and the more you can contribute to the team, the better it is. So that will be the main focus. And hopefully more days like this will come with that mindset.” 1️⃣ Sachin Tendulkar – 15921 runs⬆️ Joe Root – 12377 runs Half an eye on Sachin’s record, Joe? — England Cricket (@englandcricket) August 31, 2024
