Injured England pacer Mark Wood out of IPL 2022

LONDON: Fast bowler Mark Wood has been ruled out of IPL 2022 and the remainder of England's tour of the West Indies due to an elbow injury, the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) said on Friday. Wood, who left the field due to the injury after sending down only five overs on day three of the first Test in Antigua, was set to play for newly-formed franchise Lucknow Super Giants in the IPL. Wood previously played for the Chennai Super Kings in 2018.

"Scan results have confirmed that Wood has a right elbow injury. He will return to the UK next week for a specialist opinion regarding the management of his injury," ECB said in a statement.

Lucknow have not yet announced a replacement for Wood. Agencies
