Mark Wood has been ruled out of next month’s England tour of India after suffering a broken ankle. The fast bowler missed the ongoing Bangladesh tour, but his hopes of a recovery in time for India Tests took a hit when it was discovered that he had fractured a bone during a County game in September.

The 26-year-old Durham fast bowler has already undergone two ankle surgeries this year.

“Woody showed his commitment to Durham with the way he bowled 35 overs in that Surrey game, and we know now that he also showed a hell of a lot of courage and resilience,” England physiotherapist Ben Langley told British media.

“His foot and ankle swelled up hugely during the game, which was obviously worrying, and then we were perplexed when nothing significant showed up on the first scan. It was only when we got him in for a second scan that we discovered he’d been playing on despite having fractured a bone,” he added.

England are scheduled to play five Tests in November and December and return in January for the limited-overs leg of three ODIs and three T20Is.
