Mark Wood to miss last leg of IPL
New Delhi: There is bad news for Lucknow Super Giants fans. The lead English bowler of this team, Mark Wood, will not be available in the matches of the last stages of IPL 2023. During this, he will stay in England for the birth of his daughter. He is expected to return to England in the fourth week of May.
Mark Wood will become a father in late May. He wants to be with his wife Sara at such a time. In such a situation, it is believed that he will return to England only a week or so ago. After this there is little hope of his return. Mark Wood is going to become a father for the second time.
Mark Wood started IPL 2023 in a strong way. In the very first match, he took 5 wickets for 14 runs. He has taken 11 wickets in four matches. In place of Wood, the LSG team management gave a chance to Afghanistan fast bowler Naveen ul-Haq.
The performance of Lucknow Super Giants in IPL 2023 has been good so far. This team has won four out of their seven matches. The three matches in which Lucknow have lost have been very close.
