Mark Wood and David Warner
In the ICC T20 World Cup 2024, all eyes will be on the performance of the defending champion England team, which has many strong players. Under the captaincy of Jos Buttler, the England team won the trophy of the last T20 World Cup held in the year 2022. At the same time, fast bowler Mark Wood has given a big statement on the preparations for the team’s upcoming event, in which he has clearly said that there are many players who were playing in the IPL till some time ago, so there is definitely a big question about how fresh they are for this World Cup.
I am fully prepared
Just before the start of the 17th season of IPL, Mark Wood withdrew his name, the reason behind which was that he wanted to keep himself fully fit for the T20 World Cup. At the same time, in his statement to ESPN Cricinfo, he said about the team’s preparations for the World Cup that till now many players in our team were playing in the IPL and they are also fully prepared for the World Cup, but will they be able to keep themselves fresh. In IPL you play matches continuously and during this time other players fully understand your weaknesses and strengths and they will also have a better strategy against you. It is true that the conditions will be different in the T20 World Cup in which everyone will have to adjust but you cannot say whether all these players will be completely fresh, but I am completely fresh.
Both Joffra and I can play together in the playing 11
England’s T20 World Cup team also includes Jofra Archer, who is making a comeback after a long time and he also played in the second match of the T20 series against Pakistan before this mega event. It seems a bit difficult for both Wood and Archer to play together in the playing 11, but regarding this, Mark Wood has said that both Jofra and I played together during the 2019 ODI World Cup and I think we both can play together. However, this decision has to be taken by the team management. At the same time, Wood said about T20 cricket that he tries to bowl in all phases in this format and he will try his best to perform this time as well like the last time this mega event was held in Australia.
