England fast bowler Mark Wood plans to return to cricket with Durham in September. He has been out since February due to a knee injury. Wood missed playing against India because of this injury. He hopes to play one or two County Championship games next month. This will help him prepare for the Ashes series in Australia starting in November. Wood said his knee is better but had a setback after bowling at Lord's. He praised the care he received and is focused on full recovery. Wood also named Rohit Sharma as the toughest Indian batsman he has faced. His return is important for England’s bowling strength in the upcoming Ashes. (Updated 27 Aug 2025, 23:21 IST; source: link)
