SRH vs LSG IPL 2023: Why is Mark Wood Not Playing Today’s IPL Match?

During the toss, it was mentioned that Mark Wood is not part of the LSG playing 11 for today’s SRH vs LSG match. Interestingly, it seems that the England fast bowler is not available for selection since the last few games as he is not even part of substitute members list. On the other hand, Wood was performing exceptionally well with the ball for the Lucknow Super Giants in the initial phase of IPL 2023 where he took as many as 11 wickets from 4 matches that included a stunning five-wicket haul as well. However, the LSG team management have now strengthened their batting line-up with the inclusion of overseas batsman Quinton de Kock and are going with an all Indian pace attack.

“We would have batted first as well, but I don’t mind (bowling) either. It has been an up and down season for us. You have to play good cricket, that’s what matters. The wicket looks good and it will play the same. We have a couple of changes. Prerak and Yudhvir are in for Hooda and Mohsin,” said Lucknow Super Giants captain Krunal Pandya during the toss.
