England fast bowler Mark Wood has been ruled out of all cricket for four months following surgery on his left knee. England Cricket informed that scans earlier this week confirmed ligament damage, which required an operation to address the issue.
Wood, who has been managing ongoing knee problems for over a year, experienced increased stiffness and discomfort during England’s ICC Champions Trophy group-stage match against Afghanistan in Lahore earlier this month. The discomfort forced him to leave the field after completing his spell.
