Wood took 1-45 for England in the first Test against West Indies
England fast bowler Mark Wood has undergone surgery on a right elbow injury sustained during the drawn first Test against West Indies.
He will be out until May and will likely return in white-ball cricket, making him a doubt for England's Test series with New Zealand in June.
England said Saturday's operation "removed bone and scar tissue to address an impingement problem".
"He'll now commence rehabilitation with the ECB and Durham," they said.
Wood, 32, was only able to bowl five overs on the third day in Antigua before leaving the field.
He bowled in the nets before the start of the final day's play in Antigua but suffered "acute pain" and did not feature.
He was replaced by Saqib Mahmood for the second and third Tests.
England lost the third Test by 10 wickets on Sunday to lose the series 1-0.
