Mark Wood will miss the entire summer Test series against India following knee surgery, with a projected recovery period of four months. Despite visible discomfort during the Champions Trophy in February and managing a knee issue for over a year, Wood has delivered impressive performances in the past. Acknowledged as England’s fastest bowler at 35, he remains a vital asset ahead of the winter Ashes tour. Wood is optimistic about his recovery and looks forward to contributing to England's cricketing success in 2025.
Mark Wood expressed his disappointment, saying, “I’m gutted to be out for so long after representing England across all formats since the start of last year.”
Wood emphasized his determination, stating, “I’ve got every confidence that I’ll be back firing on all cylinders now that I’ve been able to sort my knee out.”
He reflected on past achievements, noting, “I found individual success when England lost 4-0 on the 2021-22 tour of Australia, finishing the series with 17 wickets at 26.65.”
Wood thanked his supporters, mentioning, “I want to thank the surgeon, the doctors, staff, my England teammates and coaches for their support and, of course, our fans.”
