English paceman Mark Wood was one of the most lethal pacers in the world at one time, but his frequent injuries reduced his career to a large extent. The pacer was last seen for England in the 2025 Ashes Test series against Australia.
England's top-tier pacer Mark Wood said that he has started contemplating a future beyond cricket for the first time due to his slow recovery from the knee injury, which he suffered during the Ashes tour in Australia.
"It's real slow going with the stage I'm at in my career. It's quite a fine balance, where if I push this too hard, then that could be it," said Wood on his recovery on the BBC Tailenders podcast.
"I tried to get back at certain points, but my knee wasn't quite ready. It's easy in hindsight; even if I was at 80 percent, then at least the game would have given us an indicator of where I was," he claimed.
It's six-week blocks; it's not day by day- Mark Wood revealed his recovery schedule
"It's six-week blocks; it's not day by day. It's specialists and rescans every six weeks. It's been improving since what I got told had been an explosion in my knee in Australia," the English pacer revealed.
"So every six weeks has been an improvement. I've started running now, and I'm hoping by the next block it's in a position where maybe I can start bowling lightly," he concluded.
I've started thinking about other things- Wood hinted towards a possible retirement
Mark Wood revealed, "I've started thinking about other things, doing podcasts, and doing my coaching badges. I've now started to try and think for the first time about what I should do if this doesn't go well."
