Injury Blow: Mark Wood Out of Ashes Series

Mark Wood, England's fast bowler, is out of the remaining Ashes series due to a left knee injury that recurred during the first test in Perth. He will return home for rehabilitation. Matthew Fisher from Surrey has been added to the squad as a replacement.

England cricket has been dealt a significant blow as fast bowler Mark Wood has been ruled out of the remainder of the Ashes series. The setback comes after Wood experienced a recurrence of his left knee injury during the first test match held in Perth.

According to official statements released on Tuesday, Wood will be heading back home later this week to focus on his rehabilitation and recovery. This development leaves the England team needing immediate reinforcements on the field.

In light of Wood's absence, Surrey's Matthew Fisher has been called up to join the squad. Fisher, who has been in Australia with the England Lions, is set to link up with the team this week as they continue to battle a 2-0 lead by Australia in the five-test series.
