'I Came Here With High Expectations...' Wood Expressed Disappointment On Being Ruled Out Of Ashes
ICC Champions Trophy: England pacer Mark Wood has expressed his disappointment ob being ruled out from the Ashes series due to knee injury he suffered during the first Test in Perth, saying he came to the series with "high expectations about making a big impact" but his knee "just hasn't held up".
England Cricket have confirmed Wood will return home and will "work closely with the ECB medical team on his rehabilitation and recovery." Matthew Fisher has been brought into the squad, having been in Australia with the English Lions.
Wood has had recent troubles with his left knee, having sustained the injury earlier this year during the ICC Champions Trophy. The pacer, who has since had a surgery and returned after a nine-month absence following knee surgery for the first Test, had reported pain in his knee during the series opener and was only able to bowl 11 overs during the Test. He then missed out on featuring in England’s lineup for the second Test in Brisbane as the hosts took a 2-0 lead in the five-Test series.
