\"England fast bowler Mark Wood has been ruled out for the rest of the year following a right elbow injury,\" the ECB informed in a statement.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Medical scans have confirmed that Wood has a bone stress injury in his right elbow. The ECB said he had noticed increasing stiffness and discomfort in his elbow during the Test series against the West Indies earlier in the summer.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Wood had played a full part in the first Test against Sri Lanka at Old Trafford in Manchester, managing the discomfort whilst he was bowling. \"During that Test match, Wood also sustained a right thigh injury, which is being managed and from which he is recovering well,\" the ECB said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The statement said Wood will continue to work closely with the ECB medical team on his management and rehabilitation.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
