Bowler of the England team Mark Wood plans to return to play with Durham in the county championship this summer. This return will take place before the Ashes series, which starts in late November.

Wood, who did not play since the last summer due to injury, hopes to take part in several matches against teams such as Essex, Worcestershire, and Yorkshire. He was one of the best bowlers during the previous tour in Australia in 2021/22, where he took 17 wickets in four tests.

After a recent injury that prevented him from participating in the final test against India in July, Wood noted that his recovery is proceeding successfully. He emphasized that he received necessary support from the team to be ready for the upcoming series. Wood plans to return to Perth a week before the start of the series for acclimatization.

Wood also commented on the camaraderie among the teams, expressing hope that they will manage to overcome the rivalry and establish friendly relations during future meetings.
