Mark Wood Bowls Full Seam In Nets With One Leg Strapped Ahead Of Ashes Opener
Mark Wood: England’s Ashes prospects have been boosted significantly by seeing speedster Mark Wood bowl at training in Perth after his hamstring scare. He was seen bowling full seam during England’s nets session here at the Optus Stadium, with one leg fully strapped.
After missing the entire English season due to a knee injury, Wood reported hamstring stiffness during the tourists’ only Ashes warm-up match at Lilac Hill and was subsequently sent for scans.
His fitness status was uncertain, and at the same time, Josh Hazlewood was also ruled out of Australia’s squad for the Perth Test due to a hamstring strain. However, Wood’s return to bowling brought smiles and hopes for the England squad during their first of the three training sessions at Perth Stadium before the opening Test on Friday.
