Fast bowler Mark Wood will play no further part in the Ashes tour and is to fly home from Australia at the weekend, England announced yesterday.
Wood, 35, returned to action in the first Test in Perth after surgery kept him out for eight months, only to miss the second match in Brisbane after his left knee flared up again.
