Mark Wood To Not Return To Field For Day Four’s Play After Sustaining Thigh Injury
Wales Cricket Board: Tearaway fast-bowler Mark Wood will not be turning out for England on day four of the ongoing first Test against Sri Lanka after sustaining a right-thigh muscle injury, said the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB).
On Friday, Wood, who picked 1-31 off eight overs in the visitors’ first innings, limped off the field after bowling two balls in the 11th over of Sri Lanka’s second innings. The remaining deliveries of the 56th over were bowled by Joe Root, who managed to pick up the wicket of Milan Rathnayake with his part-time off-spin.
Wood has previously suffered injuries in the right thigh region, and Friday’s incident had left people worried over his participation in the rest of the match. “Mark Wood has sustained a right thigh muscle injury. He won't return to the field today and will continue to be assessed by the England medical team,” said an ECB statement.
