Mark Wood has been ruled out of IPL 2024 and Shamar Joseph has been named as his replacement. Read below.

Indian Premier League 2024: England's star pacer Mark Wood has been ruled of IPL 2024 due to undisclosed reasons. Lucknow Super Giants have dealt a major blow by losing one of the finest bowlers around the globe right now, but have named a worthy replacement in the form of young sensation from West Indies, Shamar Joseph. The Caribbean right-arm fast bowler produced one of the finest bowling spells in the history of Test cricket in his debut series in Australia, coming in the second innings of the second Test match at Gabba, where West Indies scripted one of the greatest comeback victories of all time. 

The Indian Premier League then released a statement confirming the latest series of changes taken place on Saturday.

“Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) named Shamar Joseph as a replacement for pacer Mark Wood for the upcoming edition of the TATA Indian Premier League 2024. Joseph will join LSG for 3 Crore. The speedster was recently at the forefront during West Indies’ Test win at the Gabba. He picked 7 wickets in the 2nd innings to script a historic win in Australia for West Indies. This will be Joseph's first stint in the IPL," read the statement.

 

Mark Wood's Indian Premier League Career In A Nutshell

Mark Wood has had a history of skipping the Indian Premier League, whether its due to injury or national duties. It has been speculated that the recent withdrawal of Mark Wood is due to the workload on the Englishman keeping in mind the upcoming T20 World Cup 2024. Mark Wood has played merely 5 IPL matches and four of them came for the Lucknow Super Giants in IPL 2023, in which he managed an astonishing 11 wickets.
