Wood to play 3rd IND vs ENG T20I: Eoin Morgan gives update

The England team has one of the stable limited-overs sides in the world. Their batting, as well as bowling department, has good experience of playing all around the world. It has been made possible by ECB’s change of plan ahead of the T20 World Cup.

The England pace bowler who was clocking speeds in excess of 150+ kmph in the 1st T20I did not play the IND vs ENG 2nd T20I due to injury concerns. Eoin Morgan was asked about the availability of Mark wood for the next match.

“I think when a guy bowls 95 miles an hour in the first game and he misses the second, you’re always going to miss him. Particularly in the first game when there was a bit of pace in the wicket. But today it was a different challenge. Woody feels better today, so hopefully, he’ll be fit for the next game. If not, the fourth game.” Morgan said in the press conference.

The all-rounder Sam Curran gained a good amount of experience in T20 cricket while being a part of the 2019 and 2020 IPL. He has the ability to contribute effectively in both departments.
