Mark Wood ha giocato 37 test per l’Inghilterra, dove ha raccolto 119 wicket per la sua squadra.
While England might be going through a hard-time, when it comes to its fast bowlers, a good news has finally come in that regard. Their tearaway pacer Mark Wood will finally be fit in time for the fourth Test, from July 23 in Manchester. Wood had undergone a knee surgery after the Champions Trophy 2025, where he could just play two matches.
Good News for England Team
Selector Luke Wright sounded confident of his return. “I think Woody’s now started bowling just lightly, to be honest. He’s just off a few paces, but that’s been a great sign. So, he’s on the road to recovery. I think he’s more long-term, if we can get him back, he might have an option for the fourth or fifth Test. But again, each day it’s ticking off each box and making sure he’s OK,” Wright told Sky Sports.

Wright had earlier also updated on Jofra Archer’s thumb injury status, sustained during the IPL 2025. “Joff’s trucking on really well, actually. The plans for him, he’s playing a few second-team games.
“The plan is for him to play a few second team games, loading up in the second team for Sussex. And then the idea for him is to play for Sussex against Durham during the first Test. So, he’ll play for Sussex if all things go well, and then if all things go well fingers crossed he should be available for the second Test,” Wright added.
England Squad: Ben Stokes (Captain), Shoaib Bashir, Jacob Bethell, Harry Brook, Brydon Carse, Sam Cook, Zak Crawley, Ben Duckett, Jamie Overton, Ollie Pope, Joe Root, Jamie Smith, Josh Tongue, Chris Woakes.
