England pacer Mark Wood decided not to train in Adelaide, Australia, two days before England's semifinal match against India in the ICC T20 World Cup. This is the latest sign that England might be hurt.

International sports media reported Wood stopped during a light jog on Tuesday at Adelaide Oval. He didn't participate in optional practice, which seems to have been a safety measure since England said he had stiffness all over his body.

If the bowler doesn't play in Thursday's second semifinal against India, it will be a massive setback for England. Since coming back from an elbow injury that kept him out of action for most of the summer, the bowler has always gone faster than 90 mph.

Mark Wood has been outstanding for his team in the ongoing T20 World Cup. The bowler has nine wickets in four games, with an average of 12.00 and an economy rate of 7.71. So far in the tournament, his best bowling figures are 3/26.

He remains an essential part of England's pace attack alongside Sam Curran, who has taken ten wickets in the tournament, including a historic 5/10 against Afghanistan, making him the first English bowler to take a five-wicket haul in T20Is.

Tymal Mills is England's closest comparable replacement for the right-arm fast bowler. Mills, despite being a left-armer, is capable of bowling at a high pace. On the other hand, Phil Salt will replace Dawid Malan if ruled out.

Concerns about Wood are another potential source of concern for England, which has yet to decide on the availability of left-handed batter Dawid Malan, who injured his left groin while fielding in England's previous match against Sri Lanka. England won the match, advancing them to the semi-finals.

Malan is hopeful about playing in Thursday's semifinal against India, but England will be wary of taking any risks given the magnitude of what is at stake.

As an anchor, the left-hander is an integral part of England's top order, scoring 1,748 runs at an average of 38.84. His consistency and run totals have kept him in the top ten of the ICC T20I batting rankings. Malan has also topped the list for extended periods.
