Wood has taken 119 wickets in 39 Tests for England

Fast bowler Mark Wood has admitted life after cricket is in his thoughts if recovery from his latest injury "doesn't go well".

The 36-year-old returned to Test cricket in the 2025-26 Ashes series after 15 months out with an elbow injury followed by knee surgery.

He returned to bowl just 11 overs in the first Ashes Test in November, which England lost inside two days.

He then missed the second Test with swelling in the knee and was subsequently ruled out of the tour.
