“In honour of my daughter’s birth. So, sadly, but for a good reason, return home. I might be able to return, and I hope you’ll be able to see me again”.

”I regret not being able to play in more games. But in the four that I have, I was able to take a few wickets. Hopefully, I will be able to make a strong showing once more”, the England speedster said.

“This team works really well together”. In the video, “I really love the team, the backroom staff are great, and it has been great to see the lads do well over different parts of the tournament,” Mark Wood is heard saying in the audio clip.

“One more push to enter the playoffs and advance to the championship. We all agree that is the intended outcome. Sports are difficult because you sometimes win and sometimes lose, but the guys are working hard in the gym”.

”There are some wonderful people in the group, and they go above and beyond for your team. Keep supporting them and believing in them, and I’m confident they’ll succeed,” Wood said.
