England pacer Chris Woakes has uncovered on Wednesday why he quit the Indian Chief Association (IPL) 2023 closeout in a bid to highlight in this mid year’s Remains. The IPL 2023 starts an Walk 31 with Gujarat Titans taking on Chennai Super Kings in the opener.
Woakes is present a piece of the England side visiting Bangladesh and will go directly to the County Championship with Warwickshire one month from now. ” There were a ton of elements,” Woakes was cited as saying in the Daily Mail.
“One, my body at whatever point I have returned from the IPL previously, I don’t feel I have returned the best shape going into a Test summer. For me by and by that leap from T20 to Test cricket is a seriously large leap. I have consistently found that change very hard,” said the quick bowler.
Woakes, who played for Kolkata Knight Riders, Delhi Capitals and Royal Challengers Bangalore in the IPL, haven’t played the longest configuration of the game for a year and needs to have an overs under his belt to knock on the selection doors for the Ashes.
“I haven’t played Test cricket for a year, so I feel like I would require an overs added to my repertoire to get the opportunity to knock on the entryway for determination in what is an extreme group to get once more into at the moment. That is a major piece of it,” he added.
