Chris Woakes' last act for England was coming out to bat against India with his injured arm in a sling
Former England bowler Chris Woakes says Ben Stokes' side "have a hell of a chance" of winning the Ashes in Australia for the first time since 2010-11 this winter.
Woakes retired from international cricket last month after a shoulder injury sustained in his 62nd and final Test against India this summer ruled him out of the tour.
The 36-year-old was part of two Ashes tours in which England failed to win a Test but is confident of a better showing this winter.
He told BBC Radio 5 Live: "Going to Australia is a different beast. I'm hoping the guys can go and do a good job and we've got a great chance this time.
