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.
Meanwhile, Tye has so far represented Australia in 32 T20Is and picked 47 wickets.
The right-arm pacer, who has so far played 27 IPL matches and has picked 40 wickets, will join LSG for the price of INR 1 crore.
