Mark Wood will miss the first Test
Mark Wood will miss the first Test against Pakistan due to a hamstring injury.
Mark Wood will miss the first Test between Pakistan and England in Rawalpindi from December 1 to 5, but there is a possibility that he will be back for the second Test in Multan from December 9.
The 32-year-old is expected to be fit for the series opener in Rawalpindi on Thursday, but head coach Brendan McCullum has confirmed that Wood will not be involved.
“Unfortunately Mark will not be in the first Test squad because of his injury,” McCullum said. “We expect him to be ready for the second Test otherwise we have a full squad to pick from.”
England’s other fast bowling options against Pakistan are record wicket takers James Anderson, Ollie Robinson, Jamie Overton and all-rounder, Ben Stokes.
Mark Wood හට පළමු ටෙස්ට් තරගය මග හැරේ
මාර්ක් වුඩ් ගේ උකුලෙහි ඇති වූ අබාධිත තත්වයක් හේතුවෙන් ඔහුට පකිස්ථානය හා පැවැත්වෙන පළමු ටෙස්ට් තරගය මග හැරේ.
මාර්ක් වුඩ්ට දෙසැම්බර් 1 සිට 5 දක්වා පාකිස්තානය සහ එංගලන්තය අතර රාවල්පින්ඩි හි පැවැත්වෙන පළමු ටෙස්ට් තරගය අහිමි වනු ඇත, නමුත් ඔහුට දෙසැම්බර් 9 සිට මුල්තාන්හි දෙවන ටෙස්ට් තරගයට නැවත තරග කිරීමේ හැකියාවක් පවතී.
32 හැවිරිදි ඔහු බ්රහස්පතින්දා රාවල්පිණ්ඩි හිදී ආරම්භ වන තරඟාවලියේ ආරම්භක තරඟයට සහභාගී වීමට සුදුසු යැයි අපේක්ෂා කරන නමුත්, ප්රධාන පුහුණුකරු බ්රෙන්ඩන් මැකලම් වුඩ් සම්බන්ධ නොවන බව තහවුරු කර ඇත.
“අවාසනාවකට ඔහුගේ ආබාධය නිසා මාර්ක් පළමු ටෙස්ට් සංචිතයට ඇතුළත් නොවනු ඇත,” මැකලම් පැවසීය. “අපි ඔහු දෙවන ටෙස්ට් තරගයට සූදානම් වනු ඇතැයි අපේක්ෂා කරන අතර එසේ නොමැතිනම් අපට තෝරා ගැනීමට සම්පූර්ණ සංචිතයක් ඇත.”
පාකිස්තානයේදී එංගලන්තයේ අනෙකුත් වේග පන්දු යැවීමේ විකල්පයන් වන්නේ වාර්තාගත කඩුලු ලාභීන් වන ජේම්ස් ඇන්ඩර්සන්, ඔලී රොබින්සන්, ජේමි ඕවර්ටන් සහ තුන් ඉරියව් ක්රීඩක බෙන් ස්ටෝක්ස් ය.

தொடை தசையில் ஏற்பட்ட காயம் காரணமாக மார்க் வுட் பாகிஸ்தானுக்கு எதிரான முதல் டெஸ்ட் போட்டியில் விளையாடமாட்டார்.

வியாழன் அன்று ராவல்பிண்டியில் நடைபெறும் தொடரின் தொடக்க ஆட்டத்தில் 32 வயதான அவர் உடல் தகுதியுடன் இருப்பார் என்று எதிர்பார்க்கப்படுகிறது, ஆனால் தலைமை பயிற்சியாளர் பிரெண்டன் மெக்கல்லம் வூட் இதில் ஈடுபட மாட்டார் என்பதை உறுதிப்படுத்தியுள்ளார்.
“துரதிர்ஷ்டவசமாக மார்க் காயம் காரணமாக முதல் டெஸ்ட் அணியில் இடம்பெற மாட்டார்” என்று மெக்கல்லம் கூறினார். “அவர் இரண்டாவது டெஸ்டுக்கு தயாராக இருப்பார் என்று நாங்கள் எதிர்பார்க்கிறோம், இல்லையெனில் எங்களிடம் முழு அணியும் உள்ளது.”
