"England fast bowler Mark Wood has been ruled out of the remainder of the Ashes following a recurrence of a left knee injury sustained during the first Test in Perth. Wood will return home later this week to work on his rehabilitation and recovery, the team said on Tuesday. The 35-year-old's absence is a blow to an inexperienced England attack who were well handled by Australia's batters at the Gabba, where the hosts won by eight wickets."
"Wood was ruled out on the same day Australia confirmed stalwart quick Josh Hazlewood would play no part in the Ashes following achilles and hamstring injuries. Surrey seamer Matthew Fisher has been added to the squad and will link up with the group this week, having been in Australia with the England Lions. Fisher played his one Test during the 2022 tour of the West Indies."
Mark Wood has been ruled out of the remainder of the Ashes after a recurrence of a left knee injury suffered in the first Test in Perth. Wood will return home this week to begin rehabilitation and recovery. The absence further weakens an inexperienced England bowling attack that struggled at the Gabba where Australia won by eight wickets. Josh Hazlewood is also unavailable because of achilles and hamstring injuries. Surrey seamer Matthew Fisher has been added to the squad and will join the group this week. Australia lead the series 2-0 and need only a draw in Adelaide to retain the urn.
