Mark Wood's Withdrawal Shakes Up Ashes Series

England fast bowler Mark Wood is out of the Ashes series due to a knee injury. His absence is a setback for England's bowling attack. Matthew Fisher has been added to the squad. Australia leads 2-0 in the series, needing just a draw in Adelaide to retain the urn.

Mark Wood, England's renowned fast bowler, has been sidelined for the remainder of the Ashes series after a knee injury flared up during the first Test in Perth.

The 35-year-old will return to England for rehabilitation, leaving a gap in the inexperienced English attack. In contrast, Australia capitalized on the bowling deficiency, claiming victory at the Gabba.

Joining the England squad is Matthew Fisher, who is set to bolster the team as Australia maintains a 2-0 lead in the series. The upcoming Test in Adelaide could see Australia retaining the Ashes with just a draw.
