Mark Wood Broke Kevin Sinclair Arm ENG vs WI Test: The West Indies team is currently touring England and is trailing 2-0 after two matches in the series. Meanwhile, the second Test match was played in Nottingham, in which a case of a West Indies batsman’s hand being broken has come to light. Actually, Caribbean player Kevin Sinclair has suffered this injury due to Mark Wood’s sharp bouncer ball and due to this injury, he has been ruled out of the third and last match of the series.
This incident happened on the fourth day of the Nottingham Test, where the visiting team was struggling to chase the target of 385 runs. Meanwhile, Kevin Sinclair came to bat when his team had lost 5 wickets for 82 runs. In the 24th over of the innings, Mark Wood bowled a sharp bouncer at a very high speed towards Sinclair. Since the ball was in the body line, the West Indies batsman moved his bat forward, but the ball hit his wrist directly. The umpire declared him out, but Kevin Sinclair took a review but the very next moment he sat down on the field holding his hand.
YES WOODY!! 🔥

Who will replace?
When the replay was seen, Sinclair’s review was correct, but his luck was so bad that a very small part of the ball was touching the glove, due to which he was declared out. He was able to score only one run in 17 balls. Now in the last Test match, Gudakesh Moti, who is a left-arm off-spin bowler, will replace him. Gudakesh played the first match of the series, but could not play in the second match due to illness. It is also a big setback for West Indies that Alzari Joseph may also sit out of the third Test match due to illness.
