In place of Mark Wood, England recalls Pacer after three years to face Sri Lanka.
Following a thigh injury sustained during England’s five-wicket victory in the opening Test, Wood will be out for the remainder of the series. For the first time in three years, Olly Stone has been called up to the England team. He replaces Mark Wood in the lone alteration for the second Test match against Sri Lanka. Following a thigh injury sustained during England’s five-wicket victory in the opening Test at Old Trafford, Wood will be out for the remainder of the series. After Wood’s injury, Josh Hull, a 20-year-old left-arm pacer, was called up to the team for the first time, but Stone, a seamer from Nottinghamshire, has been selected.
