IND vs ENG LIVE – Mark Wood Ruled OUT, Dawid Malan Fitness TEST: Mark Wood will make way for Chris Jordan in the semifinal against India. The fastest bowler in T20 WC 2022 has muscle stiffness. As a result, England are not ready to take any risk with the Pakistan tour coming up. Instead, Chris Jordan is set to get the nod. Wood had minimal involvement in practice as he had a fitness drill. Dawid Malan is also sweating on his fitness after suffering a groin injury. He will undergo a fitness test today morning.

At the practice, England gave Phil Salt an extended session at nets on Wednesday. If Malan is ruled out, Salt will come in as replacement. He is likely to open in place of Alex Hales, who will be slotted in at No 3.
“We will give them full time to recover. We will again test them tomorrow and see if both Malan & Wood have fully recovered. Accordingly we will take call on their inclusion in playing XI”, said Jos Buttler.

Wood’s withdrawal from training appeared to be precautionary. He remains very much a point-of-difference bowler in this side and they will be hoping he is able to contribute more in training on Wednesday.
It will be a huge blow to England in the second semifinal against India on Thursday. The bowler has consistently topped 150 kmph since his return from elbow injury, which kept him inactive for most of the summer. In the ongoing T20 World Cup, the bowler has performed brilliantly for his side. In four matches, the bowler has bagged nine wickets at an average of 12.00 and an economy rate of 7.71. His best bowling figures in the tournament so far are 3/26.
