England told their misuse of Mark Wood in the Ashes has 'come back to haunt them'

Steve Harmison has warned England that making Mark Wood bowl "dead overs" during the Ashes has contributed to him picking up an elbow injury during the first Test against the West Indies.

Wood has had his fair share of injury problems in the past and has never had a winter as busy as this one, with the 32-year-old playing in four tests in Australia before getting picked in Antigua.

Previously, the most tests Wood has played in a single winter is just two and he bowled more than half of his overs during the Ashes after England had already lost the series.
