England taking no chances with Wood's return

Mark Wood is set to miss the entire home summer, with England deciding to take an ultra-cautious route with the fast bowler they deem central to their Ashes hopes this winter.

- Ali Martin

Wood, 35, underwent knee surgery in March and was initially targeting a return for the fifth Test against India in late July. Despite bowling in the intervals during that series, this target was then pushed back to a possible late season outing for Durham.

But, barring a late change of heart, Wood will now miss Durham's remaining two County Championship fixtures against Worcestershire and Yorkshire and make his comeback overseas. The two options being discussed are the white-ball tour of New Zealand in October or an early flight to Australia with the England Lions.
