Mark Wood Remains ‘confident On Team' Despite Media Jibes Ahead Of Ashes Opener
Mark Wood: England pacer Mark Wood said he is paying little attention to the Australian media’s criticism of captain Ben Stokes and the team’s aggressive 'Bazball' approach, insisting that there is a 'quiet confidence' within the camp as they prepare for the 2025-26 Ashes.
Australian outlets have launched a series of front-page jibes at Stokes, calling England’s style of play ‘dopey’, but Wood has brushed off the noise, saying such talk is part of the pre-series theatre.
“I think that’s all part of it. I haven’t taken much notice of newspapers and things,” Wood told Sky Sports. “But the reception we’ve had in general from Australians has been great — throughout the hotel and around Perth everyone’s been very friendly and everyone’s excited for the series. I think it’s a big build up.”
