Wood not up for WI encounter?

England fast bowler Mark Wood is a doubt for Friday’s World Cup clash with West Indies at Southampton because of a flare-up of an ankle injury, captain Eoin Morgan said on Thursday.

Wood, who has taken four wickets in England’s three matches, has struggled since Saturday.

“Jos is fully fit,” Morgan told reporters on Thursday. “Mark Wood will have a fitness test in the morning.

“His ankle is swollen. He has not bowled for two days so we will see how he is, if he is sore then we may not take the risk.

“Mo’s wife gave birth to a baby girl, all healthy and well, so it is great to see him back.”
