Wood Raises Fitness Concerns Ahead Of Ashes Opener, To Undergo Scans For Hamstring Stiffness
Lilac Hill Park: England pacer Mark Wood is scheduled for a precautionary scan on Friday after experiencing hamstring stiffness during Day 1 of England's warm-up match against the England Lions in Perth. The English fast bowler spent time off the field during the afternoon session after completing eight overs and is expected to bowl again in two days' time.
Wood played only eight overs in a warm-up match against the English Lions before he had to leave due to a hamstring injury. Seen as England’s key hope to reclaim the urn after a decade, he now faces an uncertain future for the Ashes opener following just one day of play at Lilac Hill Park.
In his first red-ball game in nine months, Wood delivered two four-over spells—one in the morning and another later—and left the field immediately after completing his eighth over.
