As per a report, Wood’s status was revealed to the LSG franchise by the England Cricket Board (ECB). It confirmed that he cannot bowl and any aggravation will only cause long-term damage.
Notably, Wood had picked up the injury during the first Test against West Indies last week. It was already clear that he wouldn’t feature for Lucknow from the very start after he walked out of the drawn first Test against West Indies last week. In the match, Wood could only bowl 17 overs.
He remained on the sidelines since then, and it has now been learned that he wouldn’t be able to participate in the entire IPL Season 15.

Having established himself as one of the finest white-ball bowlers in the world at present, Wood’s signing had excited many LSG fans ahead of the start of IPL 2022 season.
