Mark Wood: Ashes Build-Up, Fast Bowling & World Cup Success | Stick to Cricket Ep 10

Mark Wood joins Phil Tufnell, Sir Alistair Cook, David Lloyd and Michael Vaughan on Stick to Cricket for a brilliant episode full of pace, personality and plenty of laughs – brought to you by Betfair!

Wood opens up on his fitness, his lengthened run-up, and how Brendon McCullum is keeping him ready for the big moments. He also shares his thoughts on franchise cricket, why England must always come first and whether they can win the Ashes this time around.

We dive into what it’s like playing against Australia – including the story of why they didn’t share a drink after the last series and why he’s heading out early this time round.

Wood also reveals his decision to play for Durham before the Ashes, his surprising support for Wimbledon and of course - his World Cup Win.
