England pacer Mark Wood has been ruled out of the third Test match against India that will start on August 25 at Headingley. Wood sustained the injury on the fourth day of the second Test at Lord’s while diving to stop a boundary.
“He will remain with the squad in Leeds and will continue his rehab with the England medical team. The 31-year-old will be assessed at the end of this Test match,” said a statement from the ECB.
Wood joins Olly Stone, Stuart Broad, Jofra Archer and Chris Woakes on the injured list. Ben Stokes is still unavailable as he is still on a break from cricket to focus on his mental health.
India are in a lead of 1-0 in the five-match Test series.
