The fast bowler had made his Indian Premier League debut in the 2018 edition but played just one game for the Super Kings before eventually heading home to England to rejoin his county outfit Durham. Along with Wood, two uncapped domestic players, Kanishk Seth and Kshitiz Sharma were also released from their contracts.

 

International career

2015: West Indies and Ireland

In March 2015, Wood was named in the England Test squad for the tour of the West Indies. Nevertheless, he did not play in the series.

The Durham cricketer made his One-Day International debut for England against Ireland on 8 May 2015. The match was affected by rain and little cricket was played, although Wood did take his first international wicket.

2015: New Zealand

He made his Test debut for England later the same month against New Zealand. In the first Test Wood took figures of 3-93 in New Zealand’s first innings. He then took 1-47 in their second innings to help England win the match by 124 runs and go 1-0 up in the series. In the following Test Wood continued to impress, taking figures of 2-62 in New Zealand’s first innings. He also made a useful 19 with the bat. In New Zealand’s second innings he took another three wickets, this time at the expense of 97 runs. England lost the match by 199 runs and the series was drawn at 1-1.

Wood played in the third ODI against New Zealand, taking figures of 1-48. In the next game, he took figure of 1-49 to help England win by seven wickets and level the series at 2-2. Although Wood did not take a wicket in the final game of the series, taking 0-70, England still won to win the series 3-1.

Mark Wood made his Twenty20 International debut in the same series on 23 June 2015. He finished with figures of 3-26 as England won by 56 runs.

2015: Ashes series

Wood took 2-68 in Australia’s first innings of the first Ashes Test and followed this up by taking 2-53 in their second innings to help England win the match by 169 runs. In the second Test, he only took one wicket in the Australian first innings, finishing with figures of 1-92 as England lost the match by 405 runs. He was ruled out of the third Test through injury, but returned in the fourth Test, taking 1-13 in Australia’s first innings. In the second innings, he took figures of 3-69 including the wicket that won the match for England, which meant they regained the Ashes. England lost the final Test of the series, with Wood taking 1-59 in Australia first innings. However, England won the series 3-2 to regain the Ashes.

Wood was selected for the first ODI against Australia, although he was expensive, finishing with figures of 1-72 as Australia won the game. He kept his place for the next game, but he again proved expensive, this time finishing with 0-65 from his nine overs, although England went on to win the game by three wickets. After being dropped from the side for the next two games, he returned for the final ODI and took figures of 1-25, although a poor batting performance from England meant they lost the game and the series 3-2.

2015: Pakistan

He played in the first Test against Pakistan although he only picked up one wicket in the match, which ended in a draw, as England were unable to force a win due to bad light. He played in the second Test, which England lost, although he performed well. He took 3-39 in Pakistan’s first innings and followed this up with another two wickets in the second innings, although Pakistan went on to win the match in convincing fashion, by 178 runs.

An ankle injury ruled Wood out of England’s entire series against Sri Lanka, and he also missed the start of the return series against Pakistan.

2016: Pakistan

Wood returned from injury in time for the first ODI against Pakistan. He took figures of 1-57 as England won by 44 runs on the D/L Method. He took 3/46 in the next match as England restricted Pakistan to 251 and won the match by four wickets. In the third match of the series, he took figures of 1-75 as England won by 169 runs. After missing the fourth match, he returned for the final match of the series and took figures of 2-56, although England lost the match by four wickets, although they won the series 4-1.

2019: West Indies

Wood was called up to replace injured Olly Stone in a 3-test tour of the West Indies. He did not play in the first 2 matches which England lost but was drafted into the team for the third test in St.Lucia. Wood bowled the fastest of any bowler in the match and in the Windies’ first innings took 5 wickets for 41 runs off 8.2 overs – his first five-wicket Test haul helping England to a 142-run lead over West Indies on day two of the final test.
