England bowler Mark Wood is out of the remaining three Tests of the Ashes series, with the flare up of a knee injury ‘worse than feared.’

The 35-year-old played in the first Test in Perth but sat out the second in Brisbane, although there was hope that he would return before the end of the five-match series.

However, he has now confirmed that he will not play again in Australia and after significant injury problems over his career, his international future is in doubt.

The Durham pace bowler insists he will ‘push the limits to get back again,’ but ahead of his 36th birthday next month, questions over his long-term availability will obviously be asked.

Wood ends the series without a wicket after going bowling 8-1-21-0 in the first Australian innings in Perth and 3-0-23-0 in the second.
