Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) have signed Andrew Tye as a replacement for the injured England pacer Mark Wood for the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022.

KL Rahul-led LSG had spent Rs 7.5 crore to buy Wood at the IPL 2022 mega auction last month. However, Wood suffered an elbow injury during England's first Test against West Indies earlier this month.

32-year-old Wood had to fly back from the Caribbean to seek immediate treatment for it.
