As of now, Mark Wood is recovering from a knee injury sustained during the historic loss of England against Afghanistan at the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. During radio commentary duties, Wood indicated his desire to be fit before the final test against India at The Oval.
Both Mark Wood and Jofra Archer, the two modern-day English pacers who rose to prominence due to their insane pace, are recovering from injuries and are looking forward to a test return.
The bowler also expressed how there are several other bowlers in the England pace deck as well, other than the two injured heads, Archer and Wood.
“In the pack of bowlers, we don’t want it to feel like we are competing against each other. We want it as a rounded group where it can do damage against India and Australia," said Wood, showing England's intentions for the upcoming test season.
