End of twitter postWood ruled out of rest of West Indies Test series & IPLpublished at 13:53 Greenwich Mean Time 18 March 2022
It's not all good news for England.
Fast bowler Mark Wood has been ruled out of the remainder of the West Indies tour and the Indian Premier League with a right elbow injury.
The 32-year-old began struggling with the injury on the third day of the drawn first Test in Antigua.
Scans have confirmed a problem and he will return home next week for "a specialist opinion regarding the management of his injury".
Wood was due to play for the Lucknow Super Giants in the IPL.
He will take an indefinite break from cricket while waiting for the elbow specialist's opinion.
England will decide later if a replacement will be called up for the third Test, which takes place in Grenada from 24-28 March.

On a batting friendly pitch, West Indies ended on 71-1. They have plenty of work still to do, though.
