England’s Wood hoping to hit top gear in time for World Cup

The Hindu  

England bowler Mark Wood said he is hopeful he can return to full fitness and hit his peak “at the right time” ahead of this year’s Twenty20 World Cup in Australia. Wood, who missed the entire English summer due to an elbow injury, marked his return to international cricket with three wickets in England’s 63-run win over Pakistan in Karachi on Friday. I’ve got to peak at the right time, and then when it comes to that World Cup, I’m fit and firing. I’ve done loads of time in the gym, lots of running, but nothing is the same as playing a game.” England, who took a 2-1 lead in the seven-match series with the win, will next face Pakistan on Sunday as both sides continue preparations for the T20 World Cup from October 16 to November 13.
