Mark Wood relishing chance to tick off ‘bucket list’ items over next 12 months
Mark Wood, August 23, 2024

MARK WOOD is a double World Cup winner who took the wicket that sealed England’s last Ashes triumph but the fast bowler is craving even more “bucket list” items in a whirlwind next 12 months.

England will seek to regain the urn for the first time since 2015 next winter, but before the Australia trip is a home Test series against India while their Champions Trophy campaign starts on Saturday.

Wood is expected to have an important role in all three pursuits and while he is aware of his body’s limitations after several injury setbacks throughout his career, he wants to add to his medals haul.
