Mark Wood Admits Post-cricket Future In Mind Due To Slow Recovery From Knee Injury
ODI World Cup: Tearaway England pacer Mark Wood said he is contemplating a future beyond cricket for the first time due to his slow recovery from the knee injury that cut short his Ashes tour in Australia.
Wood, 36, returned to Test cricket in November 2025 after 15 months on the sidelines due to an elbow injury followed by knee surgery. But Wood broke down again during the first Ashes Test – bowling just 11 overs before missing the second match with knee swelling and being ruled out of the tour entirely.
"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.
