Batting great Joe Root confirmed the development, stating that the all-rounder is ready to put his body on the line and bat one-handed on the final day of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy 2025.
Chris Woakes sustained an injury to his left shoulder on Day 1 of the fifth Test match against India at the Kennington Oval in London and looked in significant pain.
Just after the incident, he looked in big trouble as he was seen clutching his left shoulder in extreme pain, before being taken to the dressing room by physio Ben Davies for treatment.
However, there seems to be a twist in the tale as Chris Woakes, despite not making any contributions with the ball after his injury, is ready to bat and help England win the Oval Test.
He's desperate to do what it takes - Joe Root
Speaking of Chris Woakes, Joe Root said that the all-rounder is "desperate to do what it takes" to help England win the match and clinch the series 3-1. He said:
"I'm not sure. 've not seen him practice yet. You might get a better indication tomorrow if he has some throwdowns in the morning."
Clearly, he's in a huge amount of pain - Joe Root
"Clearly, he's in a huge amount of pain having done what he's done. It just shows, as we've seen from other guys in this series - [Rishabh] Pant batting with a broken foot, guys taking all sorts of blows here and there - but it means a huge amount to him.
England would be hoping Chris Woakes is not required to bat as the all-rounder is in serious trouble, with some reports claiming that his participation in the upcoming Ashes is doubtful.
