Karachi, Sep 25: England’s express pace bowler Mark Wood has declared he is keen on playing Test cricket following his match-winning performance against Pakistan in the third T20I at the National Stadium here, which helped the tourists take a 2-1 lead in the seven-match series.
Wood is returning to the England white-ball side following two elbow surgeries and a wait of six months.
Wood’s 97-mile-per-hour delivery against Pakistan caught the attention of fans worldwide, with experts saying he could come in handy in Tests under the new setup of coach Brendon McCullum and skipper Ben Stokes.
The 32-year-old has taken 82 wickets in 26 Tests and, ironically, his overseas record – 41 wickets at under 25 runs apiece – is better than at home.
“If they (England management) want me, I’ll be ready to go. The Test performances have given me belief in all the formats because, if you can do it at that level, I feel I can do it at any level,” Wood was quoted as saying by Daily Mail. (IANS)
