Mark Wood Admits England’s Rainy T20 World Cup Preparations ‘not Ideal’

Two warm-up matches with Pakistan washed out so far
‘One or two might feel we need a game or two’, says Wood

Mark Wood has admitted that England’s preparations for the T20 World Cup have been “not ideal” after two of their first three warm-up games against Pakistan were rained off to leave both sides heading into Thursday’s final encounter at the Oval – and transatlantic flights the following day – far from fully battle-honed.

Before the 2022 tournament, held in Australia, England played a seven-match series in Pakistan, then three games against the hosts – one in Perth, also the venue of their first World Cup fixture – and a final warm-up match, also against Pakistan. Fully grooved by an 11-game build-up, and having got their international travel out of the way early, they went on to win the tournament.
