Mark Wood replaced at London Spirit, Sandeep Laminchhane withdraws from Oval Invincibles on the eve of the men's Hundred

The England quick has been temporarily swapped out for Brad Wheal while South Africa's Tabraiz Shamsi is a late call-up in south London

Mark Wood will miss the start of The Hundred for London Spirit after being replaced by Brad Wheal.

The Hampshire quick will fill the void left by the England seamer for an undisclosed period at the Lord's-based franchise.

Wheal, capped 18 times in white-ball cricket by Scotland, took 14 wickets in the T20 Blast group stage for quarter-finalists Hants.

The men's 100-ball competition has been hit by another high-profile overseas withdrawal in the form of Sandeep Lamichhane.

The Nepalese spinner has been undergoing a mandatory period of quarantine but an issue with his visa has blocked his hopes of representing Oval Invincibles.

An ECB statement read: "We are really disappointed that Sandeep isn't able to play in the first edition of The Hundred due to Visa issues. We hope cricket fans will be able to see him in action in the competition in the future."

South Africa's Tabraiz Shamsi, the highest-ranked spinner in the ICC's T20I rankings, has been enlisted as his replacement.

Injury to Adam Hose means Birmingham Phoenix will be without his services.

Chris Benjamin, who was only signed on a rookie deal by Warwickshire at the start of the month, has been called up as his replacement for the Edgbaston-based side.

Furthermore, Dan Douthwaite and Calvin Harrison have been confirmed to represent Manchester Originals in place of Richard Gleeson and Jamie Overton, who both have fitness issues.

In the women's competition, Hannah Baker has come in for Bethan Ellis at Welsh Fire while Northern Superchargers have been forced to temporarily replace Helen Fenby with Liz Russell, due to illness.
