England’s fiery fast bowler Mark Wood has been hit with a bizarre new rule: no more pony rides for the kids! Mark Wood has been told by his doctors to avoid using his right arm for even the simplest tasks, including picking up his children, after suffering a bone stress injury in his right elbow.
The 34-year-old speedster, known for his blistering pace and lively personality, is now sidelined for the rest of 2024. But it’s not just his cricket that’s on hold—Wood’s parenting duties have taken a hit too. “I have been told to stop picking my kids up with my right arm. I have to do everything with my left,” Mark Wood confessed in an interview with BBC’s Test Match Special.

The internet erupted when an old picture of Mark Wood’s son riding him like a pony resurfaced, sparking a wave of hilarious memes and reactions. Fans couldn’t resist poking fun at the situation, with social media flooded with jokes about Wood’s new left-handed lifestyle.
Wood’s injury saga began during England’s recent Test series against Sri Lanka, where he initially grappled with a groin issue. But as fate would have it, scans for the groin injury revealed concerns about his elbow, ultimately ruling him out of England’s winter Test tours of Pakistan and New Zealand.
While Mark Wood targets a return early next year, his current predicament has provided some much-needed comic relief for cricket fans.
