Wood confident of attaining full fitness ahead of Ashes series opener in Perth
Gulf Today
|October 17, 2025
Mark Wood has expressed that he is 'quietly confident' of being fit and ready to feature in the first Ashes Test in Perth on Nov. 21.
-
Wood was recognised as England's leading wicket-taker during their 4-0 defeat in the 2021-22 Ashes series and was named Player of the Match at Headingley in 2023 after dismantling Australia with his pace. However, he has not participated in a competitive fixture since the Champions Trophy in February, having missed the entire English summer following knee surgery.
A comeback had initially been targeted for the fifth Test of England's series against India, with Wood seen bowling in the nets alongside international teammates during the summer. However, swelling in his knee required fluid to be drained, delaying his return. A similar issue later ruled him out of Durham's County Championship campaign.
Wood is scheduled to arrive in New Zealand next week to link up with England's white-ball squads and continue his rehabilitation, though he is not expected to play any competitive matches. In recent weeks, he has been observed bowling in the heated marquee at England's training base in Loughborough, and it is understood that he considers himself to be in a good position ahead of the Ashes.
