Of the two fast bowlers who were out of the Ashes, one is from England and the other is from Australia. Mark Wood is out from England. Whereas Josh Hazlewood’s exit from the series from the Australian camp has been confirmed. The exclusion of these two players has dealt a big blow to the teams of England and Australia.
Why was Mark Wood out?
Mark Wood is out of the Ashes series due to knee injury. He suffered this injury during the first test match played in Perth. Mark Wood is reported to return to England from Australia at the end of this week, where he will rehab with the medical staff of the England team.
Absolutely gutted for you, Woody.
After working so hard to get back, we’re all with you ❤️

The problems for England have increased further due to the exclusion of Mark Wood. Because he was such a fast bowler of the team who not only brought experience in pace attack. In fact, he also had speed and the ability to take wickets. In such a situation, his exclusion from the Ashes series is going to hurt England. Mark Wood played only one match in the current Ashes series in Perth, in which he did not take any wicket.
Josh Hazlewood is also out of the series
Australian coach Andrew McDonald has also confirmed that Josh Hazlewood is out of the Ashes series. He told that Hazlewood has suffered a fresh injury, due to which he has had to be out. Earlier, Hazlewood was not a part of the first two Tests due to hamstring injury. He suffered a hamstring injury during the Sheffield Shield match.
