Chris Woakes is an English cricketer, who plays internationally for England in all formats as a right-handed all-rounder and fast-medium bowler. During the fifth Test between England and India at The Oval, Woakes suffered a left shoulder injury and was ruled out of the rest of the match due to a suspected shoulder dislocation.
How it occured?
Woakes has been ruled out of the remainder of the fifth Test against India at The Oval due to a left shoulder injury. The injury occurred late on Day 1 when Woakes dived at the boundary in an attempt to save a four and landed awkwardly, immediately clutching his left shoulder in discomfort. He had to leave the field using his sweater as a makeshift sling, and the England and Wales Cricket Board confirmed that he would play no further part in the match. This injury is a significant setback for England, who are already without their captain Ben Stokes and due to a shoulder injury, as Woakes has been a key part of their bowling attack throughout the series.
