England’s Mark Wood Embraces Full-Throttle Approach in India T20 Series

Brendon McCullum opts against rest-and-rotation for injury-prone fast bowlers as England prioritizes aggressive pace strategy.

England coach Brendon McCullum has decided not to rest key fast bowlers Mark Wood and Jofra Archer during the ongoing T20 series in India, despite their history of injuries.
Mark Wood, 35, expressed surprise and satisfaction at being given consistent opportunities to play, emphasizing his desire to make the most of his remaining career.
McCullum’s strategy focuses on taking wickets rather than conserving players, with Wood clocking speeds of up to 95 mph in his return after a five-month injury layoff.
India leads the five-match series 2-0, with England’s pace attack facing challenges against the hosts’ aggressive batting and spin-heavy strategy.
Wood acknowledges his need for improved accuracy but remains optimistic about his form ahead of England’s upcoming Champions Trophy and Ashes campaigns.
