Wood\u2019s return comes after a challenging six-month rehabilitation period following knee surgery. Wood\u2019s return adds the firepower to a squad eager to make a statement Down Under.<\/p>\n
He last featured in the Ashes during England\u2019s 2021-22 tour, where he played four of the five Tests and finished with 17 wickets, including a career-best 6 for 37 in Hobart.<\/p>\n
As Wood continues to build up his fitness, England\u2019s upcoming warm-up match next week will give him a chance to test his match fitness.<\/p>\n
“I wouldn’t say I’m at 100%,” he said.<\/p>\n
“I think it’s very hard to train 100% all of the time. I’ve been off my full run-up and stuff, and I’ve been trying to just up the intensity as I go along. I’m sure in the practice game coming up, I can try and up it a little bit more again and gradually get ready for that first game.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Wood\u2019s return comes after a challenging six-month rehabilitation period following knee surgery.
