Chris Woakes does not rule out the possibility of retiring from cricket

• Woakes stepped onto the field with a sore shoulder.
• He did not manage to deliver a single blow, but he ran a few runs.
• The player is waiting for the results of the examination of his shoulder.

Chris Woakes, a 36-year-old cricketer from the England national team, stepped onto the field for the game, despite the soreness in his shoulder. This happened during the final test against India, when the team needed 17 runs to win. Woakes came onto the field with his left arm in a sling, but did not manage to make any deliveries, as his teammate from the team, Gus Atkinson, was injured, and India won by a margin of six runs, finishing the series tied at 2-2.

It is worth noting that the injury occurred on the first day of the match, when Woakes was trying to save the ball from going over the boundary. He felt a sharp pain, but despite this, he decided to go onto the field, as he could not imagine not trying to help his team. "I would not be able to live with myself if I didn’t try," he stated.

Woakes noted a serious blow when he needed to run, and the first time he tried, it was the biggest blow. He recalls that, despite the pain, he felt the support from his teammates and the fans who supported them. The player also mentioned that his efforts received recognition worldwide, and he feels grateful for the support from the public.

Now Woakes is waiting for the results of the examination to understand the full extent of the shoulder injury and the possibility of participating in the winter matches. He emphasized that he did not want to become a hero through injury, but rather to achieve success in the game.
