London: England bowler Mark Wood will have ankle surgery and is set to miss the tour of India that starts next month, the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) said yesterday.
The 26-year-old Durham pace bowler will require a third operation on his left ankle within a year after it was discovered that he had fractured a bone during a County Championship match against Surrey last month.
Wood had previously been ruled out of England’s ongoing tour of Bangladesh.
England will travel to India to play five Tests, three ODIs and the same number of Twenty20 internationals between Nov. 9 and Feb. 1.
