Mark Wood Out for Rest of Sri Lanka Series
News summary

England fast bowler Mark Wood has been ruled out of the remainder of the Test series against Sri Lanka due to a right thigh muscle strain sustained during the first Test at Old Trafford. Wood's injury occurred late on the third day and prevented him from bowling on the final day, contributing to England's five-wicket victory. Leicestershire's Josh Hull, a 20-year-old left-arm seamer, has been called up to replace Wood for the remaining two Tests at Lord's and The Oval. Hull, who stands at 6ft 7in, has been recognized for his impressive performances with the England Lions. With Wood out and other fast bowlers like Olly Stone, Gus Atkinson, and Matthew Potts in the squad, Chris Woakes is expected to lead the pace attack.
