ENG vs SL: Josh Hull announced as Wood's replacement for the remaining two tests. England will play their 3-match test series, as of which the first match has been played and England secured a win early on. With the other two tests scheduled to be played in Lord?s and the Oval, England will end their summer with the final test from September 6th to 10th. In the recently concluded tests, Sri Lankan players did give the Englishmen a firm resistance before the hosts secured a win. However, in the game, England pacer Mark Wood suffered an injury while bowling in the second innings against the Lankans.

 Mark Wood seemed to struggle bowling his 11th over in the 2nd inning, while Wood left the field after aborting his run-up. Wood was also not seen on the field at the start of Day 4, and then post-scans, the ECB confirmed that the 34-year-old will not be able to feature in the series any further. With <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olly_Stone">Olly Stone</a> already in the team as their backup reserved pacer, the ECB still had to name a new inclusion in place of the injured Wood. For the same England has considered young Leicestershire left-arm pacer Josh Hull and has given him his maiden test call.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Josh Hull was named as Mark Wood?s replacement</h2>



Hull is an exciting English prospect; at 20 he produces a raw pace, sometimes excelling with a pace above 90 MPH. He was seen playing for the England Lions against Sri Lanka in their only warm-up match, as he struck five times across two innings. Though his County performance has been very modest with just 16 wickets, his run in the Metro Bank One Day Cup and later his debut this time in The Hundred for the Manchester Originals have brought him to sheer limelight.

 "It's come around pretty quickly; I didn't think it would happen this fast, but I am really excited to be joining them." "I was happy with how I performed [for the England Lions], but I never thought it would lead to a call this early. They've got Olly Stone there as the first replacement, so it will be a great opportunity to join up and be part of that environment."
